GLOBAL WOOD SUMMIT: New Speaker Addition – Zoltan van Heyningen, U.S. Lumber Coalition

Starts Next Week! (and the last update)

Session 5 Addition: Zoltan van Heyningen, Executive Director of the U.S. Lumber Coalition

Following Session 5’s North American Lumber Panel at the Global Wood Summit, we will feature a presentation by Zoltan van Heyningen, Executive Director of the U.S. Lumber Coalition based in Washington, DC.

The long running US-Canada softwood lumber dispute and the current import duties impact huge volumes of Canadian lumber exports to the US. Countervailing and anti-dumping duties are currently in place that are tied to annual Administrative Reviews where duty rates change.

Zoltan will discuss some of the background to US trade law and duties and how it impacts Canadian lumber exports to the US.

Delegates to the GLOBAL WOOD SUMMIT conference from Oct 29-30, 2024 in Vancouver BC will see over 30 speakers from around the world to discuss what is going on in the world of forest products and what the outlooks will be for 2025.

Full conference details can be viewed on the GWS website for the conference agenda and speakers.
