Talk:Canada–United States softwood lumber dispute/Archives/2020


Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I just added information on recent events in the Canadian-U.S. softwood lumber dispute under the Looking Ahead section and added references to Lumber I and Lumber III. This is my first time making major edits to a Wikipedia page and creating a talk page, so please let me know if I did anything incorrectly and feel free to make changes to my additions.

I made the following changes: Added information: On April 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce initiated the First Administrative Review (AR1) of antidumping duty and countervailing duty investigations of imports of certain softwood lumber products from Canada.[43] [44] The Department of Commerce its preliminary determination for the First Administrative Review on February 7, 2020. The preliminary determination included an assessment rate to be applied to exports during the period of review (April 28, 2017 through December 31, 2018) and a new cash deposit rate to be applied to new shipments upon completion of the review. The rates will only be applicable to companies covered by the First Administrative Review.[45][46]

On January 2, 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the Second Administrative Review (AR2) of antidumping duty and countervailing duty investigations of imports of certain softwood lumber products from Canada.[47] [48] The Second Administrative Review was initiated on March 10, 2020. An administrative review will be conducted each year, unless the case is settled, to recalculate the countervailing and antidumping duty rates for shipments during the period of review and to establish a new cash deposit rate for future shipments. A company will be subject to the review if there has been a specific request for a review of that company filed by interested parties with the Department of Commerce.[49] [50]

I also added references to the Lumber I and Lumber III sections. The same source was already cited in the page years ago, but I added citations to un-cited information when that information was found in the source.

Lastly, I added more factual information and a citation to the Federal Register under Lumber III.

I'm sure there are errors in my edits and probably even how I added this talk page, so please let me know how I can fix them.
