Common use of In US Clause in Contracts

In US. Cotton Yarn, which concerned a safeguard measure of the United States on imports of cotton yarn from Pakistan (see paragraph 53 below), the Panel found that the United States violated Article 6.2 by excluding from the scope of the "domestic industry" the vertically integrated fabric producers that produced yarn for their own internal use. The Appellate Body upheld the Panel's finding49, inter alia because the definition of domestic industry is "product-oriented and not producer-oriented, and […] the definition must be based on the products 50 produced by the domestic industry which are to be compared with the imported product in terms of their being like or directly competitive".51
