I thought the 19.3% duty went to the U.S. government. If in fact it goes to the U.S. lumber companies, this sounds really unfair. Can you cite a link to clarify this?

' Globe says Canfor, rivals must pay 27.2% U.S. duty Doman Industries Ltd DOM Shares issued 37,685,836 May 2 2002 close $.400 Friday May 3 2002 In the News The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, May 3, edition that Ottawa is facing intense pressure to bail out the softwood lumber industry after a United States ruling that Canadian producers must start paying billions of dollars a year in new import duties. The Globe's Barrie McKenna and Brian Laghi write that in a 4-0 decision, members of the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled Thursday that $10-billion a year worth of Canadian softwood lumber imports pose a threat to the U.S. lumber industry, upholding a 27.2-per-cent duty. Canadian lumber producers must start paying the duties in cash within a couple of weeks -- possibly as early as May 23. Canada did win a partial victory Thursday, when the commission found only a "threat of injury," rather than actual injury. That means the U.S. government must refund an estimated $760-million in bonds posted by firms to cover interim duties imposed last year. Trade Minister Pierre Pettigrew demanded an immediate refund, claiming the U.S. was stalling on releasing the bonds. Unnamed sources said the value of the bonds posted so far may be even higher, possibly totalling more than $1.6-billion.
