Vietnam goes to WTO to challenge U.S. restrictions on pangasius fish

Vietnam goes to WTO to challenge U.S. restrictions on pangasius fish

Wednesday, February 28, 2018, 10:31 GMT+7

Vietnam has launched a complaint at the World Trade Organization (WTO) to challenge U.S. restrictions on imports of pangasius seafood from Vietnam, a WTO filing showed on Tuesday.

The complaint said pangasius fish was economically significant for Vietnam and was a healthy and affordable source of protein for U.S. consumers, but that the United States was unfairly restricting it without a sufficient scientific basis.

Under WTO rules, Vietnam could ask for adjudication of the dispute if the United States does not settle it within 60 days.
