China launches WTO dispute with Canada on steel and aluminium surtaxes

BERLIN (Reuters) -China has requested dispute consultations at the World Trade Organization regarding Canadian surtaxes and quotas on steel and aluminium goods, the WTO said on Wednesday.

The disputed measures include a surtax in the form of tariff rate quotas on certain steel imports originating from Canada’s non-free trade agreement partners, including China, a notice from the WTO said.

China is also challenging a surtax on certain goods that contain steel or aluminium originating from China, it added.
