GENEVA (AP) ― The United States claimed victory in a trade dispute Friday after a key panel ruled that China’s anti-dumping duties on imports of American-made cars and sport-utility vehicles violate international trade rules.
The WTO dispute panel sided with the United States in its ruling, saying that China acted “inconsistently” with the anti-dumping requirements, in violation of its WTO commitments. The Geneva-based international trade body allows countries to raise import duties to offset improper subsidies and dumping. But complaints filed in 2012 accused Beijing of improperly imposing duties on American-made autos worth $3 billion.
