GENEVA - The World Trade Organization (WTO) on Wednesday announced in a panel report that the revised countervailing duties imposed by the United States on imports of certain products from China were inconsistent with WTO laws.
The panel also found that the American recourse to third country prices for assessing the benefit granted to Chinese exporters was inconsistent with WTO rules.
In 2016, China requested consultations with the US to challenge the full compliance of the latter with a WTO ruling on 2014 against its countervailing duty measures on 22 products from China.
