Brazil Challenges U.S. HR & CR Duties at WTO
Written by Sandy Williams
The Brazilian Steel Association has requested that the World Trade Organization initiate a “bilateral consultation” with the United States regarding the countervailing duties applied against imports of Brazilian hot and cold-rolled steel.
The Association claims that the U.S. Department of Commerce did not take into consideration in their determination of “actionable subsidies” the explanations by the Brazilian government that the industrial policies in question are applied to any industry and are not specific to the steel industry.
