WTO to consider Vietnam’s complaints on US anti-dumping tariffs

World Trade Organization (WTO) judges agreed to investigate whether the U.S anti-dumping tariffs on Vietnamese shrimp cause unfair harm to Vietnam’s exporters, said a WTO spokesperson on May 18.

The WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) has set up a jury to consider Vietnam’s complaint, in which Vietnam affirmed that the punishment of 4.13-25.76 percent tariffs imposed on Vietnam’s shrimp is unfair and seriously harms Vietnamese exporters.

Speaking at a meeting on May 18, Tran Thi Thu Hang, deputy permanent representative of Vietnam’s mission to the UN, WTO and other international organisations, emphasised that Vietnam looks forward to the solution of the dispute at any time and will follow it until the judicial review.

Some other countries attending the meeting expressed their hopes of participating in the dispute as the third party.

DSB also set up a jury to consider China’s complaint against the EU anti-dumping tariffs imposed on China’s shoes.
