UNITED STATES – ANTI-DUMPING AND COUNTERVAILING MEASURES
ON LARGE RESIDENTIAL WASHERS FROM KOREA
STATUS REPORT REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
DSB RECOMMENDATIONS AND RULINGS
BY THE UNITED STATES
Addendum
The following communication, dated 13 September 2018, from the delegation of the United States
to the Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 21.6 of the DSU.

The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on Rules
and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU").

On 26 September 2016, the Dispute Settlement Body ( "DSB") adopted its recommendations in
United States – Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Measures on Large Residential Washers from Korea
(WT/DS464). At the following DSB meeting, on 26 October 2016, the United States informed the
DSB of its intention to implement the recommendations of the DSB in connection with this matter.
Korea requested that the reasonable period of time for the U nited States to implement the
recommendations of the DSB be determined through arbitration pursuant to Article 21.3(c) of the
DSU. The Arbitrator determined the reasonable period of time to be 15 months, expiring on 26
December 2017.

On 15 December 2017, the United States Trade Representative requested that the US Department
of Commerce ( "Commerce") initiate a proceeding under section 129 of the Uruguay Round
Agreements Act to address the DSB's recommendations relating to Commerce's countervailing duty
investigation of washers from Korea. On 18 December 2017, Commerce initiated a section 129
proceeding. Following initiation, Commerce issued initial and supplemental questionnaires seeking
additional information. On 4 April 2018, Commerce issued a prel iminary determination. Following
issuance of the preliminary determination, Commerce provided interested parties with the
opportunity to submit comments on the issues and analysis in the preliminary determination and
rebuttal comments. Commerce reviewed th ose comments and rebuttal comments and took them
into account for purposes of preparing the final determination. On 4 June 2018, Commerce issued
a final determination, in which Commerce revised certain aspects of its original determination.
Specifically, Commerce revised the analysis underlying the CVD determination, as it pertains to
certain tax credit programs, in accordance with findings adopted by the DSB.

The United States continues to consult with interested parties on options to address the
recommendations of the DSB relating to anti-dumping measures challenged in this dispute.
