The United States and Canada have a long-standing series of disputes over softwood lumber that until now have focused on alleged subsidies and countervailing duties (CVDs). The United States changed things up this time around and the US Department of Commerce (USDOC) found dumping after applying the Differential Pricing Methodology to softwood lumber from Canada. The panel found that the USDOC erroneously aggregated export price differences when applying the differential pricing methodology (DPM), but departed from the WTO Appellate Body's previous ruling in US–Washing Machines regarding the use of zeroing and the inclusion of differential prices under Article 2.4.2 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement. To date, the United States and Canada have not been able to resolve the long-standing softwood lumber dispute, and this time the focus shifts from subsidies and countervailing duties to anti-dumping duties. It remains to be seen what happens in this specific dispute on appeal – if, and when, the WTO Appellate Body starts to function again. It will also be interesting to see whether this panel decision encourages parties to argue for, and future panels to permit departures from, Appellate Body rulings with which they disagree.

“[软]木材分歧的两条道路”有针对性的倾销、差异定价方法和归零:美国-加拿大软木木材反倾销

美国和加拿大在软木木材方面存在一系列长期争议,直到现在都集中在所谓的补贴和反补贴税 (CVDs) 上。美国这次改变了情况,美国商务部 (USDOC) 在对来自加拿大的软木木材应用差异定价方法后发现倾销。专家组发现,美国商务部在应用差异定价方法 (DPM) 时错误地汇总了出口价格差异,但背离了 WTO 上诉机构先前在美式洗衣机关于根据《反倾销协定》第 2.4.2 条使用归零和包含差异价格的问题。迄今为止,美国和加拿大一直未能解决旷日持久的软木木材争端,这一次的重点从补贴和反补贴税转向反倾销税。在这一具体的上诉争端中会发生什么,还有待观察——世贸组织上诉机构是否以及何时重新开始运作。有趣的是,该专家组的决定是否鼓励各方争论,以及未来的专家组是否允许偏离他们不同意的上诉机构裁决。
