W.T.O. to Consider Lumber Tariff Case
The New York Times | "The World Trade Organization agreed Friday to investigate whether United States antidumping duties on Canada's multibillion-dollar lumber exports had been brought into line with trade rules, officials said.
The United States said it changed its policy after the W.T.O. ruled last year that duties had not been properly calculated. Canada disputes this and has threatened to seek up to $167 million in retaliatory sanctions.
A panel of trade judges will have up to three months to decide whether Washington did enough when it announced in December that it was slightly reducing the level of the antidumping duty, the officials said."
