This article explores the issue of 'double counting' under the WTO, arising from the concurrent imposition of countervailing duties ('CVD') and anti-dumping duty ('ADD').The article has three objectives: first, a critical appraisal of the Appellate Body's findings in United States - Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties (China) as well as the Panel's findings in US - Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Measures (China), which were issued in the context of Non Market Economies ('NMEs'); second, a critique of the United States' effort to comply with the Dispute Settlement Body ('DSB') ruling in United States - Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties (China); third, to explore the implications of these earlier rulings on MEs.
