U. S. Lumber Exports and lmports

(Continued from Page 28)

States and Canada allotted Canada an annual quota of 250,000,000 board feet of Douglas fir and Western hemlock to enter the United States at $2.00 duty and excise tax. From January I to October D, 1938, imports of these woods subject to this quota totaled 139,282,365 board feet, according to preliminary figures supplied by the Bureau of the Customs and Treasury Department. According to the new Canadian trade agreement which beco,mes effective January I, 1939, imports of Douglas fir and Western hemlock will not be subje'ct to a quota limitation.

The Bureau of Customs announced September D that the quota on importation of red cedar shingles from Canada was filled September 28. Therefore, further importations of this comm,odity may not be admitted to entry for constrmption until January 1, 1939. By the new Canadian trade agreement, effective January l, 1939, the absolute limit on the quantity of Canadian red cedar shingles (duty free) which may enter the United States has be'en abolished. However, the United States has reserved the right, the exercise of vuhich rvould require action of Congress, to impose a customs duty on imports in excess of a quantity equal to 3O per cent of the average annual consum,ption during the three preceeding years. Such a duty may not exceed 25 cents per square (about l0 per cent ad valorem).

Detailed monthly statistics on the U. S. exports and imports of hardwood and soft'ivood logs and lumber are compiled by the Bureau ,of Foreign and Domestic Commerce and are available from the Bureau on a subscripti,on basis. Special statistics covering imports subject to quota are comrriled by the Customs Bureau and are made available to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
