The department of animal husbandry, dairying and fisheries had on 8 July notified fresh norms for the import of poultry and poultry products. “We have studied the CVD on Indian steel products case and have found that the US has not complied with the WTO appellate panel ruling. We are considering to move to the compliance panel against the US on the matter,” a government official said, requesting anonymity. So far, the US has raised six trade disputes at the WTO against India and encountered eight cases from New Delhi. On 5 February, the government imposed minimum import duty on 173 steel products for a period of six months in a bid to curb the dumping of cheap steel by countries such as China, Russia, Japan and South Korea.
