Anti-dumping tariffs: S Korea takes USA to WTO

South Korea on Monday took the United States to task before the World Trade Organization over Washington's decision to slap anti-dumping tariffs on South Korean imports of steel pipes used by the oil industry.

The WTO said it had been notified by South Korea that it was requesting consultations on the US anti-dumping measures.

Seoul charged that the measures and US methodology for calculating prices and values were counter to a range of global trade rules, WTO said.
