The U.S. Commerce Department says tomatoes from Mexico will now face additional duties.
The move backtracks on a prior agreement allowing them to enter the market tariff-free. The International Trade Administration says that the agreement failed to protect U.S. tomato growers from unfairly priced Mexican imports. It was put in place during President Trump’s first term and will end 90 days from now.
Staring mid-July, anti-dumping duties of around 21 percent will be placed on Mexican tomatoes.
