SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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.
