Complaint by Japan.
On 20 December 2012, Japan requested consultations with China concerning measures imposing anti-dumping duties on high-performance stainless steel seamless tubes (“HP-SSST”) from Japan, as set forth in Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (“MOFCOM”) Notice No. 21 [2012] and Notice No. 72 [2012], including any and all annexes and any amendments thereof.
Japan claims that the measures are inconsistent with:

Article VI of the GATT 1994.
On 15 January 2013, the European Union requested to join the consultations. Subsequently, China informed the DSB that it had accepted the request of the European Union to join the consultations.
