Major Issues Raised by Korea
On December 26, 2012, the U.S.
Department of Commerce published in
the Federal Register notice of its final
affirmative less-than-fair-value
(‘‘LTFV’’) determination in the
antidumping investigation concerning
large residential washers from Korea (77
FR 75988). On February 15, 2013, the
Department of Commerce published its
antidumping duty order (78 FR 11148).
On December 26, 2012, the
Department of Commerce published in
the Federal Register notice of its final
affirmative countervailing duty
determination concerning large
residential washers from Korea (77 FR
75975) and on February 15, 2013,
published its countervailing duty order
(78 FR 11154).
In its request for the establishment of
a panel, Korea alleges that the
Department of Commerce improperly

calculated margins of dumping through
its application of an alternative, averageto-transaction comparison methodology
and its alleged use of a methodology
that Korea describes as ‘‘zeroing.’’ Korea
alleges that the final LTFV
determination and antidumping duty
order, as well as ‘‘preliminary and final
determinations in administrative
reviews, new shipper reviews, sunset
reviews, changed circumstances
reviews, and other segments’’ are
inconsistent with Articles 1, 2.1, 2.4,
2.4.2, 5.8, 9.3, 9.5, 11.2, and 11.3 of the
Anti-Dumping Agreement, and Articles
VI:1 and VI:2 of the General Agreement
on Tariffs and Trade 1994.
Korea also challenges ‘‘as such’’ the
Department of Commerce’s use of an
alternative, average-to-transaction
comparison methodology and its alleged
use of a methodology that Korea
describes as ‘‘zeroing.’’ Korea alleges
that these methodologies are
inconsistent, ‘‘as such,’’ with Articles 1,
2.1, 2.4, 2.4.2, 9.3, 9.5, 11.2, 11.3, and
18.4 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement,
Articles VI:1 and VI:2 of the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994,
and Article XVI:4 of the WTO
Agreement.
Korea further alleges that the
Department of Commerce improperly
calculated countervailing duties with
respect to certain tax credits received by
one respondent. Korea alleges that the
final countervailing duty determination
and countervailing duty order, as well
as ‘‘preliminary and final
determinations in administrative
reviews, new shipper reviews, sunset
reviews, changed circumstances
reviews, and other segments’’ are
inconsistent with Articles 1.1, 1.2, 2.1,
2.2, 10, 14, 19.4, and 32.1 of the
Agreement on Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures, and with
Article VI:3 of the General Agreement
