Commerce Department Announces Final Results
of Softwood Lumber from Canada Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
– Department of Commerce
WASHINGTON,
D.C. – Today, the U.S. Department of
Commerce announced its final decision in the sixth administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on softwood lumber from Canada.
Administrative reviews are conducted once a year at the request of an
interested party after an antidumping duty or countervailing duty
order is put into effect. This review covers imports of softwood
lumber from Canada that entered into the United States during the
period of January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023.
The Department
of Commerce determined that softwood lumber from Canada was being
dumped into the United States at rates ranging from 9.65 percent to
35.53 percent. These final rates are, on average, larger than the
final antidumping rates determined in the previous administrative
review but in line with Commerce’s preliminary results from March
2025. Notably, the final rate for non-selected companies, which
applies to most Canadian companies, increased to 20.56 percent, up
from 7.66 percent determined in the previous administrative review.
Commerce will
now instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to begin collecting
duties at the rates outlined in Commerce’s final results. Commerce is
scheduled to announce the final decision in the administrative review
of the countervailing duty order, covering calendar year 2023, on
August 8, 2025.
More
information about these proceedings can be found by referring to case
numbers A-122-857 and C-122-858 in Commerce’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) at
access.trade.gov for the antidumping duty and countervailing duty
orders, respectively.

CBP Agriculture Specialists Issue $300
Penalty for Prohibited Items at the Hidalgo International Bridge
– U.S. Customs & Border Protection
HIDALGO, Texas—U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations
agriculture specialists assigned to the Hidalgo International Bridge
seized a large quantity of prohibited and undeclared fruits and fresh
plant leaves and issued a civil penalty.
“Failing to
declare prohibited agricultural items can turn into a significant
expense, costing the traveler more than what they wanted to bring
into the United States,” said Port Director Carlos Rodriguez,
Hidalgo/Pharr/Anzalduas Port of Entry.
On July 24,
CBP officers at Hidalgo International Bridge referred a vehicle for a
secondary inspection by agriculture specialists. During secondary
inspection, the driver provided a negative declaration for any
prohibited items. During the examination, agriculture specialists
inspected an ice chest and discovered: six propagative roots, 1 kg of
fresh avocado leaves, 1 kg of fresh mango leaves, 1 kg of fresh guava
leaves, 1 kg of pork chorizo, two soursop, 1 kg of mango pulp, 1 kg
of nances, two apples, 1 kg of pork meat, eight propagative plant
units, and 5 kg of soil. All of which are prohibited from entering
the United States. The items were seized, inspected for pests and
disease, and destroyed. The driver was issued a $300 penalty for
failing to declare prohibited agricultural items.
CBP would like
to remind all travelers that you are subject to inspection when
entering the United States, do not attempt to bring prohibited items.
If you don’t know if a certain item can be brought into the country,
declare it to the CBP officer at primary inspection or contact your
local port of entry before you apply for entry with the item or items
in question. Also before you make your visit, please consult the
following list of prohibited and restricted items.
CBP
agriculture specialists enforce United States Department of
Agriculture quarantines to prevent the entry of pests and plant &
animal diseases that could damage the agriculture industry in the
U.S. Attempting to bring in prohibited agricultural items could lead
to traveler delays and may result in a fine ranging from $300 to
$1,000.
CBP employees
work diligently to fulfill CBP’s agriculture mission by excluding
harmful pests and diseases from becoming established in the U.S. Read
more about CBP’s agriculture mission.

Federal Maritime Commission Begins Publishing
Carrier-Submitted Containerized Freight Statistics Data – Federal Maritime Commission
The Federal
Maritime Commission (FMC or Commission) has started publishing Containerized
Freight Statistics (CFS) data as submitted by ocean common
carriers to the FMC, in accordance with requirements set forth in
the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 (OSRA) and
codified at 46 U.S. Code § 41110. The data is now available on the
FMC website: Containerized Freight Statistics – Q1 2024.
This is raw,
self-reported data, published as it is submitted by the carriers with
minimal processing. The Commission does not independently validate or
verify this information. The reported figures are amalgamated values,
incorporating 20-foot, 40-foot, 45-foot, and miscellaneous-sized
shipping containers – for both empty & laden containerized cargo.
The reports
provide aggregated snapshots of containerized cargo activity, but
they do not reflect comprehensive coverage of all U.S. ports.
Instead, they represent data from 30 designated ocean common carriers
at select major U.S. ports.
The first
published release covers January through March 2024.
Going forward, quarterly updates will be made available on a rolling
basis. This publication supports greater transparency into container
trade flows and port-level trends.
Questions
about the data or publication schedule should be directed to BTAMaritime@fmc.gov.

TSA Seeks Private Sector Solutions to Enhance
Airport Security and Passenger Experience – Transportation Security Administration
WASHINGTON – The Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
recently issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the development
and deployment of turnkey solutions for use at airport security
checkpoints.
The RFI
supports TSA’s strategic goal to identify innovative,
technology-driven solutions that strengthen aviation security and
enhance the overall passenger experience. Respondents are encouraged
to propose turnkey models, incorporating cutting-edge screening
technologies to deliver a curated, secure, customer-centric
experience at security checkpoints.
“TSA is
constantly looking for innovative private sector solutions to enhance
security and improve the passenger experience at TSA checkpoints,”
said TSA Acting Administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill. “Homeland Security
Secretary Noem recently announced TSA’s elimination of the mandate
for passengers to remove their shoes. This effort will continue to
drive a golden age of travel for future innovations by allowing
private sector organizations to submit ideas or solutions that will
help make airport screening faster, more secure, and easier on the
traveling public.”
TSA is looking
for solutions that will:
·
Enhance
aviation security effectiveness
·
Reduce total
operating costs, workforce requirements, and manual labor
·
Improve
passenger experience and throughput
·
Maintain full
compliance with TSA’s performance standards and regulatory oversight
·
Incorporate
AI-driven threat detection and remote screening
·
Increase
adaptability during surge events or staffing constraints
·
Optimize
workforce capabilities through automation or robotics for passenger
and baggage screening
Proposed
solutions must meet TSA’s high security standards while improving
efficiency, reducing wait times, and promoting operational
excellence. By integrating advanced technologies with thoughtful
checkpoint design, TSA aims to achieve a balanced approach to ensure
both safety and satisfaction for passengers nationwide. TSA requires
technology adheres to open standards-based data patterns for secure,
efficient, and scalable real-time data transmission to the TSA Cloud.
TSA’s
Screening Partnership Program allows TSA to contract with private
screening companies at the request of the airport to provide
screening services under TSA’s direction and oversight.
Submissions
are due August 1, 2025. For more information on how to participate in
this RFI, please visit GSA’s website.
