Government of Mexico. Following a Request for Panel Review, a
Binational Panel is composed to review the trade remedy determination
being challenged and issue a binding Panel Decision. There are
established USMCA Rules of Procedure for Article 10.12 (Binational
Panel Reviews), which were adopted by the three governments for panels
requested pursuant to Article 10.12(2) of USMCA which requires Requests
for Panel Review to be published in accordance with Rule 40. For the

The Rules provide that:
(a) A Party or interested person may challenge the final
determination in whole or in part by filing a Complaint in accordance
with Rule 44 no later than 30 days after the filing of the first
Request for Panel Review (the deadline for filing a Complaint is March
11, 2024);
(b) A Party, an investigating authority or other interested person
who does not file a Complaint but who intends to participate in the
panel review shall file a Notice of Appearance in accordance with Rule
45 no later than 45 days after the filing of the first Request for
Panel Review (the deadline for filing a Notice of Appearance is March
25, 2024);
(c) The panel review will be limited to the allegations of error of
fact or law, including challenges to the jurisdiction of the
investigating authority, that are set out in the Complaints filed in
the panel review and to the procedural and substantive defenses raised
in the panel review.
