Further to the 17 July 2014 message, please note the details regarding export charges of 2.6% and 0.1% should not have been included as that charge is no longer in effect. The amended message follows.

Please be advised that as the prevailing monthly price for August 2014 exceeds US $355. Charges and volume restraints under the Softwood Lumber Agreement will not be applicable during the month of August 2014.
 
Pursuant to Article VII of the Agreement, when the prevailing monthly price for any given month exceeds US $355, Option B Regions (i.e. Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan) will not be subject to volume restraints (quotas) or the base export charge for that month and, consequently, there will be no requirement to issue export allocations for that month. 

Please note that export permits will still be required for all exports of softwood lumber products to the U.S.
