Brazil’s poultry association said it will ask the government to approach the World Trade Organization about South Africa imposing higher tariffs on some imports from the South American nation.
These are “flagrant violations of the WTO’s anti-dumping agreement,” Ubabef Markets Director Francisco Turra said in a statement posted on the Sao Paulo-based organization’s website yesterday and dated Feb. 13. “It’s clear that South African importers’ responses and information from Ubabef about how the costs of the Brazilian products are calculated weren’t considered, besides other technical failures.”
