Korea has requested WTO dispute consultations with the United States regarding US safeguard duties imposed on imports of large residential washers and crystalline silicon photovoltaic products. The requests were circulated to WTO members on 16 May.

Korea claims the measures are inconsistent with a number of provisions under the WTO’s Agreement on Safeguards and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994.

Further information is available in document WT/DS545/1 and WT/DS546/1

What is a request for consultations?

The request for consultations formally initiates a dispute in the WTO. Consultations give the parties an opportunity to discuss the matter and to find a satisfactory solution without proceeding further with litigation. After 60 days, if consultations have failed to resolve the dispute, the complainant may request adjudication by a panel.
