U.S. unhappy with decision, saying duties that triggered complaint were removed years ago
Canada brought a case to the WTO in 2016 over U.S. anti-subsidy duties on Canadian “supercalendered” paper, which is used in glossy magazines and catalogs. A WTO panel in 2018 and a WTO appeals body in 2020 found these duties breached global trading rules, prompting Canada to request the right to impose tariffs on a specific amount of U.S. goods.
The WTO typically allows successful complainants to impose tariffs on a specific amount of imports, but in this case awarded Ottawa a formula to calculate the volume of U.S. imports to hit should Washington use similar methods to determine whether U.S. producers are facing unfair Canadian competition.
At issue is a U.S. rule that allows the Commerce Department to select only the facts that are adverse to the other party, in this case Canada, if it is not satisfied that the other party has complied with a request for information to the best of its ability.Article content Canada said this was an ongoing practice in the United States, citing nine U.S. cases of duties applied in this way, including to Chinese solar cell, tire and PET resin makers, as well as to Indian stainless steel pipe producers.
