This dispute concerns the alleged application by the US Department of Commerce of the practice known as "zeroing" of negative dumping margins in calculating final margins of dumping in its investigations of certain steel products from Korea. The measures at issue are the final determinations, amended final determinations, anti-dumping duty orders and amended anti-dumping duty orders imposed by the United States in relation to imports of these three products. Korea claimed that in the investigations at issue, the Department of Commerce used the "zeroing" methodology to determine the final dumping margins for the Korean exporters at issue.
Relevant WTO provision: Anti-dumping Agreement: Art. 1, 2.1, 2.4, 2.4.2, 5.8; GATT 1994: Art. VI
