Japan complained after Washington decided, in November 2000, that it needed to maintain a special duty of 36.41 percent on imports of corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products from Japan. It believed they were being "dumped" at below market price, which was affecting domestic steel producers. Japan claimed the United States had no reason to start a "sunset review" to decide whether to maintain the duties at the end of the original period of application, claiming U.S. policies that require such reviews as a matter of course are against WTO rules. It also claimed that the criteria used by the U.S. Commerce Department in the investigation were incorrect. However, in a 375-page report, the WTO panel investigating the dispute rejected Japan's 10 claims. "The panel concluded that the U.S. action was consistent with U.S. WTO obligations, rejecting all of Japan's challenges," said Richard Mills, spokesman for the office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Japan has 30 days to appeal.
