USTR Updates Tariffs on $7.5 Billion WTO-Awarded Trade Action

On August 12, 2020, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) decided to issue modifications to the list of products subject to the $7.5 billion WTO-awarded trade action for large civil aircraft against European Union, France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

While the adjustments to the countermeasures have not been increased beyond the initial $7.5 billion award, the new changes include removing certain targeted products from Greece and the United Kingdom while adding an equivalent amount of trade from France and Germany.

The USTR advised the re-balancing effort is to encourage compliance with the decision authorized under the World Trade Organization.

“The EU and member states have not taken the actions necessary to come into compliance with WTO decisions,” Ambassador Robert Lighthizer stated.  “The United States, however, is committed to obtaining a long-term resolution to this dispute.  Accordingly, the United States will begin a new process with the EU in an effort to reach an agreement that will remedy the conduct that harmed the U.S. aviation industry and workers and will ensure a level playing field for U.S. companies. ”

The following trade actions will take effect on Sept. 1, 2020:

LARGE CIVIL AIRCRAFT BACKGROUND

U.S. to Impose Up to 25 Percent Tariff on European Imports, Starting Oct. 18

In October 2019, the WTO awarded the United States the largest settlement in its history – $7.5 billion annually, granting authority to levy up to 100 percent tariff on affected products.

The day after the WTO’s verdict, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) announced the decision to levy 10 percent tariffs on large civil aircraft and 25 percent tariffs on an assortment of additional products from countries across the EU beginning October 18, 2019.
