That hugely preferential penalty makes me wonder if someone has something on
someone else.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Irving wins, again?
Don Connoly, yesterday on Information Morning, asked David Blair (Business
Report) the same thing, about why Irving had such a small tariff, compared
to other Canadian exporters. David Blair said it was something about how the
wood was cut, whatever the heck that would mean.
Could be something more than that though.

At a glance one might think the increased cost of exporting might temper the
extraction of woodstuffs from Canadian forests, but of course it is more
complicated than that.
For example, according to this CBC article, J.D. Irving is (effectively)
exempt from the tariffs. They will enjoy a ~17% advantage over their
Canadian competitors for the US market share, so one might expect them to
buy up lands from producers that weren't so lucky, and carry on with
extraction and exports as per the status quo.
I'd be curious to hear comments of others in this group that are more
in-the-know than I.
