Final-Phase Antidumping Investigation Started
On March 10, 2026, the U.S. International Trade Commission determined there is a reasonable indication that imports of fresh winter strawberries from Mexico (HTSUS subheading 0810.10.40) are being sold at less than fair value and materially injuring a U.S. industry. The Commission has commenced the final phase of antidumping investigation No. 731-TA-1770 (Preliminary); the investigation was instituted effective December 31, 2025.
Consumer Groups May Participate
The Commission states that industrial users and, if the merchandise is sold at retail, representative consumer organizations have the right to appear as parties in this antidumping investigation. The Secretary will publish a public service list of parties and the Director will circulate draft final-phase questionnaires on the Commission's EDIS site.
