Why Do We Get So Much Lumber From Canada? | Family Handyman
In 2024, our country got about 72% of its lumber from its own forests. The rest was imported from various countries, especially Canada, from which we purchased 28.1 million cubic meters last year.
According to the US Department of Commerce, Canada accounts for 84.3% of all softwood lumber imports, followed by Germany (6.1%), Sweden (2.8%) and Brazil (1.4%).
