Japan has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization over a U.S. antidumping measure against Japanese surface-treated steel sheet exports, and asked Washington to hold talks on the issue under WTO auspices, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said.
Under the WTO's dispute-settlement system, the two countries are to hold talks next month.
Japan suspects the U.S. measure violates the antidumping accord of the Geneva-based trade body, the ministry said.
