Because the U.S. did not fix antidumping calculation methods after it lost a case in 2017 regarding 25 Chinese products, China will soon be authorized to levy tariffs on about $3.58 billion in U.S. goods, the World Trade Organization announced Nov. 1. China will have to formally request the right to retaliate at the next Dispute Settlement Body meeting, scheduled for Nov. 22.
China is going to ask the World Trade Organization to authorize retaliatory tariffs on $2.4 billion worth of goods at the WTO's dispute settlement body meeting Oct. 28. If the U.S. disagrees with either the argument that it's not complying with the ruling on countervailing duties, or the amount of retaliation permitted, an arbitrator will decide how much China may retaliate.
Trade experts identified many weaknesses of the World Trade Organization -- the evidentiary standard for countervailing duties: the fact that CVD in one market doesn't help the industry's economics when surplus flows to other countries; the length of time it takes to show adverse effects to domestic firms; the fact that 164 countries can't agree on trade liberalization.

The European Union is imposing a final “definitive” antidumping duty of €29.48 per kilogram ($32.35/kg) on its imports of U.S. urea and ammonium nitrate, it said in a notice in the Oct. 9 Official Journal. That rate will apply individually to the sole respondent to the EU’s investigation, CF Industries Holdings, Inc., as well as to all other U.S. exporters, the notice said. Duties will be assessed on entries on or after April 11, the date that the EU imposed preliminary interim measures (see 1904150062). No duties will be collected on entries before that date (including on or after March 22, when the EU imposed "registration" requirements.) The duty will remain in effect for a period of five years, and may be renewed for another five years in an expiry review at the end of that period. Duty rates will remain unchanged unless an interim review of the duties is requested.
