Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

Argentina, Mexico Issue AD Duty Determinations
November 25, 2019 |Americas

Argentina and Mexico made several antidumping determinations on products from China and Malaysia, according to a Nov. 21 report from the Hong Kong Trade Development Council. Argentina will rescind its 178 percent antidumping duties on certain “conveyor belts of vulcanised rubber reinforced only with textile materials” and introduced a 56 percent duty on certain mainland Chinese knitted gloves, the report said. Argentina also determined that certain glass plates exported to Argentina from Malaysia are evading the antidumping duty on certain ceramic, marble and glass tiles from mainland China. Mexico began a sunset review of antidumping duties on certain concrete steel nails from mainland China, the report said.

EU Raises WTO Dispute Against Colombia Over Frozen Fries
November 18, 2019 |World Trade Organization

The European Union raised a dispute in the World Trade Organization against what it said are illegal antidumping measures used by Colombia on frozen fries from Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, the European Commission said Nov. 14. The commission said the antidumping duties violate WTO rules “both on substance and in terms of the procedure.” Colombia imposes duties ranging from 3 percent to 8 percent on EU imports, affecting nearly 85 percent of EU exports of frozen fries to Colombia, the commission said. The commission has “not received a satisfactory response” from Colombia “despite numerous interventions … to lift the unjustified measures,” Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said in a statement. The EU hopes to resolve the dispute “as soon as possible,” she said.

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 Worry Next President Won't Be Able to Salvage WTO
October 21, 2019 |World Trade Organization

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.
