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.
