Illustrative image According to the WTO filing, Vietnam is seeking
consultations with the US government concerning certain US anti-dumping
regulations and practices as well as certain anti-dumping determinations in
administrative reviews on fish fillets from Vietnam.
The US was accused of improper use of the zeroing
methodology, which usually results in a higher level of anti-dumping duties
on foreign producers, and other practices inconsistent with the WTO.
Vietnam also voiced concern that the US broke the rules on
dispute settlement when turning down Vietnamese exporters’ request for
revocation of anti-dumping measures although they are eligible for such a
revocation.
The request for consultation is the first mandatory step in
the WTO’s dispute settlement procedure.
The US will have 60 days to resolve the complaint;
otherwise Vietnam could request adjudication from the WTO.
This is the fourth time that Vietnam has initiated a
dispute with the WTO, after two complaints about US anti-dumping measures on
certain shrimp from Vietnam and one about Indonesia’s safeguards on certain
Vietnamese steel products.
