Last updated: August 2026 dataHem-fir is a commercially recognized species combination pairing western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) with true firs (Abies spp.), widely used in North American structural framing and dimension lumber markets.

Softwood lumber from Canada has historically been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders, making country-of-origin documentation and applicable trade-remedy exposure a routine compliance concern for importers of this species mix.
