Complaint by the United States

On 15 December 2016, the United States requested consultations with China concerning China's administration of its tariff rate quotas, including those for wheat, short- and medium- grain rice, long grain rice, and corn.

The United States claimed that the measures appear to be inconsistent with:

  • Articles X:3(a), XI:1 and XIII:3(b) of the GATT 1994; and
     
  • Paragraph 1.2 of Part I of China's Protocol of Accession (to the extent that it incorporates paragraph 116 of the Report of the Working Party on the Accession of China).
