American Consumption of Softwood Lumber Products Regulations repealed in full

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

The American Consumption of Softwood Lumber Products Regulations have been repealed entirely. All provisions—including definitions, data-source rules, formulas for calculating American softwood lumber consumption, market-share calculations, and the seasonal adjustment factor schedule—are no longer in force. Businesses and compliance teams that relied on these rules to determine export charge obligations or market-share thresholds under the Softwood Lumber Products Export Charge Act, 2006 should note that this regulatory framework no longer exists. Affected parties should consult legal counsel to understand what, if anything, replaces these requirements.
