Congressman Blunt Urges Bush Administration to Suspend Antidumping Duties to Aid Hurricane Reconstruction
House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) sent a letter to President Bush yesterday requesting that antidumping and countervailing duties on Canadian softwood lumber be suspended or eliminated in order to reduce the cost of Hurricane Katrina reconstruction. The letter indicated that the softwood lumber tariffs add at least $1,000 to the average new American home.
In the same letter, Blunt also urged the Bush Administration to drop or reduce the antidumping duties on cement from Mexico. He noted that Asian cement, which is not subject to antidumping duties, requires weeks or months to arrive in the Gulf region and the supply is unpredictable due to a lack of transport capacity.
