Thank you for the question.
Duties only apply to lumber. Logs are not yet a lumber product, so there are no duties. However, Canada also has a log export process by which we monitor the export of logs. The B.C. government has a similar process for logs on provincial Crown lands. Requests for log export permits are usually approved. We have an over 99% approval rate, but they do go through a process to ensure a balance between domestic needs and export needs.
