Good research Xiahou. I've followed this issue pretty closely, and have been deliberately been looking at American sources as well in case I was missing something such as this, but I still hadn't seen this before.

However, I'd like to see the actual numbers. The tariff imposed has been exhorbitantly high, and the Commerce Department also proposes to give the majority of $$ collected (about $5,000,000,000 so far) directly to U.S. lumber producers. Do you think they will in turn lower their prices to U.S. consumers because of this? Not a chance.

At any rate, that is now four rulings that I am aware of. Three of them have said the U.S. should stop charging the tariff, and one said they should at least lower it.
