The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has upheld its current order of a 17% duty on Mexican tomato imports after its review on June 30, 2026, determined no sufficiently changed circumstances to revoke its existing antidumping order.
The decision to uphold the duty is the culmination of an investigation initiated in January 2026, with the request for revocation having been brought by Mexican producers. This ruling is part of an ongoing and long-running dispute between the U.S. and Mexican tomato industries over the (now terminated) Tomato Suspension Agreement (TSA), which many U.S. tomato growers argue didn’t provide enough protection against imports sold at unfair prices.
