Brazil has taken the first legal step at the World Trade Organization to challenge South Africa's use of anti-dumping measures on shipments of Brazilian poultry meat, the global trade body said on Friday.
Brazil has "requested consultations" with South Africa over Johannesburg's claim Brazilian imports are dumped or sold at an unfairly low price that could damage South Africa's own poultry sales, the WTO said.
If the consultations fail to resolve the issue, Brazil could ask the WTO to set up a panel to adjudicate.
