On 29 October 2025, the World Trade Organization (WCO) Committee on Anti-Dumping Practices met to review members’ latest notifications of new, amended or previously reviewed anti-dumping laws and regulations, as well as reports on anti-dumping actions.
The committee reviewed new notifications of legislation submitted by Argentina, Iceland, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Türkiye, the United States and Vietnam. It continued its review of the legislative notifications of the European Union (EU), Liberia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and the Solomon Islands.
In reviewing semi-annual notifications on anti-dumping actions, delegations questioned and discussed the practices of other members, including in relation to the initiation of investigations, the imposition of provisional and final anti-dumping measures, and the review of existing anti-dumping measures. Delegations questioned and discussed the actions outlined in the semi-annual reports submitted by Australia, Brazil, Canada, the People’s Republic China (China), the EU, India, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea (South Korea), Mexico, South Africa, Türkiye, Ukraine, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States of America (US).
In respect of the semi-annual reports covering the period 01 January 2025 to 30 June 2025, 47 members notified the committee of anti-dumping actions taken in this period, while 12 reported no new anti-dumping actions over this period. Additionally, 47 members submitted one-time notifications indicating that they have not established an authority competent to initiate and conduct an investigation and have not, to date, taken any anti-dumping actions.
The committee chair (chair) welcomed members’ continued use of the anti-dumping portal to submit their semi-annual reports. It urged members who had not submitted semi-annual reports to do so promptly.
In addition to the semi-annual reports, the WTO’s Anti-Dumping Agreement requires members to submit, without delay, on an ad hoc basis, notifications of all preliminary and final anti-dumping actions taken. Ad hoc notifications reviewed during the meeting were received from Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the Dominican Republic, the EU, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, South Korea, the Kyrgyz Republic, Mexico, Morocco, Pakistan, the Philippines, the Russian Federation, South Africa, Chinese Taipei, Türkiye, Ukraine, the UK, the US and Vietnam. In this context, concerns were raised regarding an anti-dumping action notified by the US. The chair urged members to submit ad hoc notifications of actions taken without delay.
In addition to adopting its annual report to the Council for Trade in Goods (CTG), the committee also adopted its report to the CTG on actions taken and discussions on possible future actions to improve the submission of notifications.
The committee approved the dates of its regular spring and autumn meetings for 2026.
Next meeting
The spring meeting will be held in the week of 27 April 2026.
