The US Trade Representative Office issued a notice on the same day.
On the 13th, the United States first challenged China’s implementation of the WTO ruling. It claimed that China’s continued levy of “double-reverse†tariffs on US steel exports to China violated WTO rules and required trade negotiations with China. The US Trade Representative Office issued a statement on the same day saying that China indicated that it would continue to impose "double-reverse" tariffs on US-oriented Chinese-oriented electrical steel in line with WTO rules, and the United States challenged the initiation of consultations under the WTO dispute settlement mechanism.
The statement said that this is the first time the United States has challenged China’s implementation of the WTO ruling. According to the relevant WTO procedures, there will be a 60-day consultation period between China and the United States. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the issue will be submitted to the WTO Experts Group for ruling.
Oriented electrical steel is a high-tech steel with excellent soft magnetic properties, mainly used in the manufacture of transformers, large motors, etc. In 2009, China initiated anti-dumping and countervailing “double-reverse†investigations on US-oriented China-oriented electrical steel. In 2010, it imposed a levy of 7.8% to 64.8% anti-dumping duties and 11.7% to 44.6% of countervailing duties.
After the event, the United States claimed that the Chinese approach violated WTO rules and brought the "double-reverse" measures implemented by China to the WTO. In 2012, the WTO ruled that China initiated a "double-reverse" investigation into the US-oriented China-oriented electrical steel and imposed anti-dumping and countervailing duties in violation of global trade rules.
In August last year, according to the WTO ruling, China decided to adjust the “double-reverse†tariff imposed on the US-oriented electrical steel, in which the highest anti-dumping tax rate fell to 19.9% ​​and the countervailing duty rate fell to 3.4%.
However, the US Trade Representative Office said on the 13th that after August last year, the United States had been in contact with the companies involved in the case, and evaluated China’s adjustment of “double-reverse†tariffs. It finally concluded that China continued to impose “double-reverse†tariffs on US-oriented Chinese-oriented electrical steel. Violation of WTO rules.
"The WTO found that the tariffs imposed by China are not in line with WTO rules. We are right, China is wrong. Unfortunately, China does not seem to correct places that do not comply with the rules," said US Trade Representative Froman.
After the WTO announced the results of the ruling in 2012, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce once stressed that the WTO members have different understandings of the relevant provisions of the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement and the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. China is willing to follow the WTO rules and properly Handling the implementation of the US-oriented electrical steel case.
In October last year, the US Department of Commerce launched a "double-reverse" investigation on China's export of US-oriented electrical steel. It plans to make a preliminary anti-subsidy and anti-dumping preliminary ruling in December last year and March this year, but the US Department of Commerce has not yet announced the initial anti-subsidy. Cut the results.
