Are the Maritimes provinces included in the countervailing duty order?
No. Because most of the timber in the Maritimes is privately owned, producers in those provinces do not have to pay the 17.2% countervailing duty on shipments to the U.S. It should be noted that while each of the provinces included in the CVD were investigated in the case, the 17.2% duty is applied equally countrywide, excluding the Maritimes.
