Peru - Additional Duty on Imports of Certain Agricultural Products

On 12 April 2013, Guatemala requested consultations with Peru with respect to the imposition by Peru of an “additional duty” on imports of certain agricultural products, such as rice, sugar, maize, milk and certain dairy products. Guatemala claims that the measure at issue is inconsistent with: - Article 4.2 and footnote 1 of the Agreement on Agriculture; - Articles II:1(a), II:1(b), X:1, X:3(a), XI and XI:1 of the GATT 1994; and - Articles 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 of the Customs Valuation Agreement.
