U.S. builders pay a premium for the spruce, pine and fir (SPF) lumber that B.C. produces and could soon face additional tariffs.
President Donald Trump has declared that “we have more lumber than they do,” American mills still don’t make enough lumber to fill the needs of builders.
Canada made up about 12 billion board feet of the US shortfall, 24 per cent of the shortfall, says Russ Taylor .
The irony of tariff threats is that they’re hitting the B.C. industry at the same time that it’s suffering through rounds of mill closures, consolidations and reduced production.
New sawmills, he added, are major capital investments that cost roughly US$300 million to construct, and “who’d be going to build a mill not knowing what the rules of the game are?”.
