China opens WTO dispute with Canada over steel, aluminum

China has requested dispute consultations with Canada at the World Trade Organization (WTO) regarding Canadian measures on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum.

Specifically, China has taken issue with Canada imposing a “surtax in the form of tariff-rate quotas.” These are related to the importation of certain steel goods from the country’s non-free trade agreement partners, including China, according to the WTO.
