Last updated: April 2026 dataSoftwood and hardwood lumber imports enter the US market as a critical input for residential construction, furniture manufacturing, and industrial packaging, with supply concentration and trade remedy history making this one of the most closely watched wood-products categories. Softwood lumber from Canada has been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders for decades, and importers must account for applicable cash deposit rates and potential retroactive duty liability when sourcing from affected origins. Species, grade (e.g., #2 and Better, Select Structural), and moisture content (green versus kiln-dried) are the primary specification variables that determine both price and end-use suitability.

US importers of Canadian softwood lumber subject to active ADD/CVD orders must pay cash deposits at the time of entry based on the applicable company-specific or all-others rate. Final duty liability is determined through annual administrative reviews, which can result in additional duties or refunds. Importers should work with a licensed customs broker to track current deposit rates and review outcomes.
Species (softwood versus hardwood), whether the lumber is rough-sawn or surfaced (S4S, S2S), thickness and width dimensions, and moisture content (green, air-dried, or kiln-dried) all affect the applicable HTS subheading. Misclassifying surfaced lumber as rough-sawn, or vice versa, is a common error that can result in duty underpayment and CBP penalties.
