Timber jobs are critically important to Montana's economy and our hardworking families." The ruling by the ITC will formally place duties on Canadian lumber after a Department of Commerce investigation determined the Canadian government unfairly subsidizes its lumber. Canadian timber is primarily located on government-owned land, allowing lumber producers to pay less than what U.S. producers pay for timber located on private land in the United States. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
