DataWeb, indicate that six countries
(Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany,
Romania, and Sweden) exported
softwood lumber to the United States
during that time period in amounts
sufficient to account for at least one
percent of U.S. imports of softwood
lumber products. We intend to rely on
similar previous six-month periods to
identify the countries subject to future
reports on softwood lumber subsidies.
For example, we will rely on U.S.
imports of softwood lumber and
softwood lumber products during the
period July 1, 2021, through December
31, 2021, to select the countries subject
for the next report.
Under U.S. trade law, a subsidy exists
where an authority: (i) Provides a
financial contribution; (ii) provides any
form of income or price support within
the meaning of Article XVI of the GATT
1994; or (iii) makes a payment to a
funding mechanism to provide a
financial contribution to a person, or
entrusts or directs a private entity to
make a financial contribution, if
providing the contribution would
normally be vested in the government
and the practice does not differ in
substance from practices normally
followed by governments, and a benefit
is thereby conferred.1
Parties should include in their
comments: (1) The country which
provided the subsidy; (2) the name of
the subsidy program; (3) a brief
description (no more than 3–4
sentences) of the subsidy program; and
(4) the government body or authority
that provided the subsidy.
Submission of Comments
As specified above, to be assured of
consideration, comments must be
received no later than 30 days after the
