Who issued notice 2026-22102 and why does it matter?

2026-22102 came from ITA as one of 5 trade notices the register carried on 29 Oct 2026. Its subject — “Subsidy Programs Provided by Countries Exporting Softwood Lumber and Softwood Lumber Products…” — decides which entry dates, comment windows and duty rates move for 2026-22102, so a landed-cost figure for those goods has to be re-run once 2026-22102 takes effect.

Where can I verify notice 2026-22102?

There is one authoritative copy of 2026-22102: the Federal Register document published 29 Oct 2026 by ITA. 2026-22102 wins wherever it disagrees with this page, which holds only the metadata captured 6 Nov 2026, 04:05 UTC — so cite 2026-22102 and its publication date rather than this mirror.
