INSTRUCTIONS

Domestic manufacturers are required to pay assessments and file this report no later than the thirtieth calendar day of the month following the end of the quarter in which the softwood lumber was shipped. The fiscal year runs from January through December. There are four quarters in each fiscal year. Quarter 1 covers January, February and March. Quarter 2 covers April, May, and June. Quarter 3 coves July, August, and September. Quarter 4 covers October, November, and December. Assessments for softwood lumber shipped during Quarter 1 are due by April 30; for Quarter 2 by July 30; for Quarter 3 by October 30, and for Quarter 3 by January 30. Importers of softwood lumber shall pay through Customs; however, if Customs does not collect an assessment from the importer, the importer is responsible for paying the assessment directly to the Board and submitting this report to the Board with the assessment payment. All reports are held in strict confidence by the staff of the Board and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

This report is required by law [7 U.S.C. 7416, 7 CFR Part 1212.52 and 7 CFR Part 1212.70]. Failure to report can result in a fine of not less than $1,000 or more than $10,000 for each such violation. Each such violation shall be deemed a separate violation. The making of any false statement or representation on this form, knowing it to be false, is a violation of Title 18, Section 1001 United States Code, which provides for the penalty of a fine of $10,000 or imprisonment of not more than five years, or both.
