March 22 (Reuters) - Boeing (NYSE:BA) Co BA.N will not appeal against the U.S. trade commission ruling that allows Canada's Bombardier Inc BBDb.TO to sell its newest jets to U.S. airlines without heavy duties, a Boeing spokesman said on Thursday.
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) unanimously voted in January to reject Boeing's complaint and discarded a Commerce Department recommendation to slap a near 300 percent duty on sales of the 110-to-130-seat Bombardier CSeries jets for five years. ITC had widely been expected to side with Chicago-based Boeing, the world's largest maker of jetliners, which accused Bombardier of dumping the planes, or selling them below cost, in the U.S. market.
