Pipelines

[Brad Sallows]

Organizations representing lumber buyers in the U.S. want cheaper wood.

Not just cheaper. For some lumber applications, the species of pine exported by Canada are preferred to some of what is commonly available in the US.

U.S. Lumber Coalition

U.S. Lumber Coalition is an alliance of softwood lumber producers, timberland holders and their communities that works to address Canada's unfair trade practices.

uslumbercoalition.org

The U.S. Lumber Coalition is an alliance of large and small softwood lumber producers from around the country, joined by their employees, and woodland owners, working to address Canada’s unfair lumber trade practices.

Our goal is to serve as the voice of the American lumber community, and effectively address Canada’s unfair softwood lumber trade practices.

Our Industry and Our Communities
The U.S. lumber industry is critical to the prosperity and growth of U.S. manufacturing, local communities, and state economies nationwide. Around the country, the industry is responsible for 500 manufacturing facilities operating in the sawmill, millwork, and treating sectors. These facilities support 750,000 jobs across America, including highly-skilled jobs utilizing robotics and 3D imaging, as well as high-paying skilled jobs that don’t require college degrees and 420 million acres of family-owned timberlands.

These workers, their families, timberland owners, downstream industries and communities across the country – from Maine to Montana, to Oregon, to Florida – are the reason we advocate for fair trade policies and enforcement.

Canadian Softwood Lumber

The United States and Canada are long-standing trade partners in softwood lumber, which is used to build the American Dream. Yet despite U.S. reliance on Canada to fully satisfy our lumber demand, there is currently no trade agreement in place.
