U.S. Files WTO Case Against China Over Treatment of Auto Parts
The U.S. Trade Representative today announced that the U.S. has requested WTO dispute settlement consultations with China over its treatment of imported auto parts. The U.S. claims that China's regulations on imported auto parts impose a tax beyond that allowed by WTO rules and results in discrimination against imported auto parts. Specifically, the U.S. claims that China is acting inconsistently with several WTO provisions, including Articles II and III of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 and Article 2 of the Agreement on Trade-Related Investment Measures, as well as specific commitments made by China in its WTO accession agreement.
