A World Trade Organisation panel on Friday ruled in favour of the United States in a case against import duties imposed by China on a specialty steel product used in power transformers. "With respect to each of the 11 programmes at issue, the panel concluded that China had acted inconsistently" with WTO rules governing the use of countervailing duties, the panel said in its ruling.
The case involved Chinese duties on potentially hundreds of millions of dollars of "grain-oriented flat-rolled electrical steel" (GOES), a speciality steel product made by AK Steel Corp of Ohio and ATI Allegheny Ludlum of Pennsylvania.
"Today's victory is important not only for steelworkers in Pennsylvania and Ohio, but also for American farmers and workers in other sectors that export to China," US Trade Representative Ron Kirk said in a statement.
