US Appeals WTO Ruling Against CV Duties on Canadian Supercalendered Paper
August 27, 2018 |International Sources

The U.S. has filed an appeal of a recent World Trade Organization panel decision against countervailing duties it imposed, then later revoked, on supercalendered paper from Canada, the WTO said in a press release. The U.S. had slammed the initial panel report issued July 5, which found fault with the Commerce Department’s subsidy findings (see 1807060024 and 1807090025). Commerce announced the revocation of the CV duty order shortly afterward, with termination effective from the beginning of duty collection and no CV duties assessed in connection with the short-lived order (see 1807110020).

China Files WTO Challenge of New Set of Section 301 Tariffs on $16 Billion in Goods
August 27, 2018 |International Sources

China began a World Trade Organization challenge of 25 percent Section 301 tariffs on a second group of $16 billion in Chinese goods that began Aug. 23, the WTO said in a news release. China requested consultations with the U.S. on Aug. 23, saying the measures violate WTO rules by imposing higher tariffs on China than on other countries, exceeding U.S.-agreed bound rates and retaliating against China without first filing a WTO dispute. Under WTO rules, China may request the formation of a panel to adjudicate the case if consultations don’t resolve the dispute after 60 days. China has already filed a challenge of the first group of $34 billion in goods subject to Section 301 tariffs since July 6 (see 1807060012), as well as proposed tariffs on a third group of $200 billion in Chinese goods (see 1807160046).
