Court Cuts Duties on Brazilian Raw Honey After Trade Clash

Notice
Summary
The U.S. Court made a decision that changes how much extra tax (antidumping duty) some Brazilian honey sellers, including Supermel, have to pay when selling honey in the U.S. This means the government is updating the rules and fees for honey imports from Brazil during April 2020 to March 2021. If you’re a honey producer, exporter, or buyer, watch for these new charges and deadlines coming soon!

Antidumping Margins Amended for Brazilian Exporters
On January 24, 2025, a U.S. court ruling led the Department of Commerce to amend the antidumping duty margins assigned to Apiário Diamante (Supermel) and all other producers/exporters of raw honey from Brazil for the period April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. If you are a honey producer or exporter, the legal change alters the dumping margins used to calculate duties you may owe for shipments in that period.
Importers and Buyers: Expect Duty/Charge Changes
Because of the January 24, 2025 court judgment and Commerce's amended final determination, antidumping duties and related charges on raw honey imported from Brazil for the period April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 may change. If you buy or import Brazilian raw honey, watch for updated charges and deadlines from the government and your suppliers.
