China Says It Might Challenge U.S. Import Duties
06/28/2016 - China’s commerce ministry, which has said America’s imposition of import duties on certain steel products is protectionist, now says it might sue the country through the World Trade Organization, according to the Reuters news service.
“With regard to the United States' mistaken methods that violate WTO rules, China is and will continue to take all measures, including filing suit at the WTO, to strive for fair treatment for enterprises and safeguard their export interests," the commerce ministry said in a statement, according to Reuters.
Last week, the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled in separate cases that domestic producers have been harmed by imports of cold-rolled and corrosion-resistant steel, clearing the way for duties of at least 200 percent on products from Chinese producers.
