Binational Panel Reviews Under
NAFTA Chapter 19
Article 1904 of the NAFTA provides
that a party involved in an AD/CVD
proceeding may obtain review by a
binational panel of a final AD/CVD
determination of one NAFTA Party with
respect to the products of another
NAFTA Party. Binational panels decide
whether such AD/CVD determinations
are in accordance with the domestic
laws of the importing NAFTA Party, and
must use the standard of review that
would have been applied by a domestic
court of the importing NAFTA Party. A
panel may uphold the AD/CVD
determination, or may remand it to the
national administering authority for
action not inconsistent with the panel’s

decision. Panel decisions may be
reviewed in specific circumstances by a
three-member extraordinary challenge
committee, selected from a separate
roster composed of fifteen current or
former judges.
Article 1903 of the NAFTA provides
that a NAFTA Party may refer an
amendment to the AD/CVD statutes of
another NAFTA Party to a binational
panel for a declaratory opinion as to
whether the amendment is inconsistent
with the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade (‘‘GATT’’), the GATT
Antidumping or Subsidies Codes,
successor agreements, or the object and
purpose of the NAFTA with regard to
the establishment of fair and predictable
conditions for the liberalization of trade.
If the panel finds that the amendment is
inconsistent, the two NAFTA Parties
shall consult and seek to achieve a
mutually satisfactory solution.
Chapter 19 Roster and Composition of
Binational Panels
Annex 1901.2 of the NAFTA provides
for the maintenance of a roster of at least
75 individuals for service on Chapter 19
binational panels, with each NAFTA
Party selecting at least 25 individuals. A
separate five-person panel is formed for
each review of a final AD/CVD
determination or statutory amendment.
To form a panel, the two NAFTA Parties
involved each appoint two panelists,
normally by drawing upon individuals
from the roster. If the Parties cannot
agree upon the fifth panelist, one of the
Parties, decided by lot, selects the fifth
panelist from the roster. The majority of
individuals on each panel must consist
of lawyers in good standing, and the
chair of the panel must be a lawyer.
Upon each request for establishment
of a panel, roster members from the two
involved NAFTA Parties will be
requested to complete a disclosure form,
which will be used to identify possible
conflicts of interest or appearances
thereof. The disclosure form requests
information regarding financial interests
and affiliations, including information
regarding the identity of clients of the
roster member and, if applicable, clients
of the roster member’s firm.
Criteria for Eligibility for Inclusion on
Chapter 19 Roster
Section 402 of the NAFTA
Implementation Act (Pub. L. 103–182,
as amended (19 U.S.C. 3432)) (‘‘Section
402’’) provides that selections by the
United States of individuals for
inclusion on the Chapter 19 roster are to
be based on the eligibility criteria set
out in Annex 1901.2 of the NAFTA, and
without regard to political affiliation.
Annex 1901.2 provides that Chapter 19
