The Panel found the United States had acted inconsistently with Article 2.4 of the AD Agreement when the USDOC used “zeroing” to determine margins of dumping (relied upon to set cash deposit rates) and importer-specific assessment rates in the First and Second Administrative Reviews. Likewise, the Panel concluded that the United States' “continued use“ of “zeroing” under the orange juice anti-dumping duty order was inconsistent with Article 2.4 of the AD Agreement. The Panel considered it was unnecessary, for the purpose of satisfactorily resolving the dispute, to make additional findings with respect to Brazil's claims that the same measures were also inconsistent with Articles 2.4.2 and 9.3 of the AD Agreement and Article VI:2 of the GATT 1994. On this basis, the Panel decided to exercise judicial economy and declined to make any findings in respect of these claims. The Panel recommended that the DSB request the United States to bring its measures into conformity with its obligations under the AD Agreement.
