Description

In 2006, the U.S. and Canada signed the Softwood Lumber Agreement. The Agreement, among other things, imposed export charges and quotas on Canadian lumber exports to the U.S. To assist in monitoring compliance with the agreement, in 2008 Congress passed the Softwood Lumber Act, which imposed several data collection and analysis requirements on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This report discusses: (1) CBP's processes for meeting the act's requirements; and (2) how these requirements contribute to U.S. efforts to monitor compliance with the 2006 Softwood Lumber Agreement. It includes an update on a report issued in June 2009 on U.S. agency efforts to monitor compliance with the 2006 agreement.
