According to what you have said, the delay would also be caused by the governments, who want to implement the agreement according to the rules that they set.
From October 1 to November 1, those companies that filled out all the required paperwork to terminate litigation will continue to pay countervailing duties on their softwood lumber exports.
My understanding is that the United States will continue to collect 19% of the countervailing duties paid between October 1 and November 1. These amounts do not account for a great deal when compared with the $5.3 billion in cash deposits, but I would like to know whether these duties should apply in principle.
