CIT sustains Commerce's fourth remand results in softwood lumber CVD expedited review

The U.S. Court of International Trade sustained Commerce's fourth remand results in the countervailing duty expedited review of certain softwood lumber products from Canada, in Consol. Court No. 19-00122, Slip Op. 26-77, dated July 21, 2026. On remand Commerce reopened the record, netted out C$5,317,890 from the category "Lumber (Unaffiliated Canadian Suppliers) - Resold," and revised D&G/Portbec's overall subsidy rate down to 1.05 percent from 1.75 percent, still above de minimis. The court also upheld Commerce's refusal to deduct secondary processing costs for remanufactured lumber, finding the argument forfeited.
