Because the anti-dumping duty of West Fraser and Canfor came out below 2%, are they excluded from that portion of the duties?
No. In the preliminary review, if a company’s anti-dumping duty dropped below 2% they were declared “de minimis” and excused from paying that duty. However, in the final review, a company’s rate has to drop below 0.5% before they are excused from the AD duty. Canfor’s new AD duty is 1.8% and West Fraser’s is 0.9%. The individual rates of other Canadian companies investigated are: Abitibi 3.1%, Buchanan 4.8%, Tembec 10.6%, Tolko 3.9%, and Weyerhaeuser 8.7%. The weighted average of those investigated was 4.0%, which is the new “all other” AD rate that will be charged to companies that were not investigated individually.
