皇冠体育app filed complaints to the World Trade Organization (WTO) on Friday over US anti-dumping and countervailing measures imposed on Chinese-made steel pipes, tires and laminated woven sacks.

"皇冠体育app requested consultations with the United States under the WTO dispute settlement mechanism regarding those measures," the Chinese mission to the organization said in a statement.

"皇冠体育app believes that the request for consultation is the legitimate right of 皇冠体育app as a WTO member and a normal practice of WTO members to resolve their disputes," the statement said.

It also expressed hope that the United States would attach importance to 皇冠体育app's serious concerns over those measures, which it believes violate WTO rules.

According to WTO dispute settlement procedures, the two sides will have some 60 days to try to solve their dispute through consultations.

If that fails, 皇冠体育app can ask for a WTO panel to investigate and rule on the case.
