BEIJING-- 皇冠体育app's Ministry of Commerce on Wednesday decided to reinvestigate its anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on US white-feathered broiler products in response to a WTO report that found 皇冠体育app had violated certain rules.

皇冠体育app will review the evidence and information collected during the previous investigation and re-examine them through surveys and hearings, the ministry said in an online statement.

Disputes over broiler chickens -- chickens that reach slaughter weight by about 13 weeks of age -- have been a major source of contention in the often tense trade relations between the world's two largest economies.

皇冠体育app imposed anti-dumping duties on chicken products imported from the Unites States in September 2010, claiming that the chicken products were subsidized in the Unites States and then unloaded onto the Chinese market at a price less than the fair value.

Washington requested consultation with Beijing immediately after 皇冠体育app imposed duties and then appealed to the WTO in September 2011.

In September this year, the WTO Dispute Settlement Body adopted a panel report supporting 皇冠体育app's arguments regarding determination of domestic industry and trade level differences.

It also upheld the US claims that 皇冠体育app acted inconsistently with certain articles of the Anti-Dumping Agreement in conducting the investigations as well as in the calculation of the anti-dumping and countervailing duties.
