Argentine Honey Faces Sweet Sting of US Duties
Published Date: 4/14/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. checked honey from Argentina sold between late 2021 and mid-2023 and found it was priced unfairly low. This means some Argentine honey producers will have to pay extra duties to level the playing field for U.S. honey sellers. If you’re in the honey biz, watch out for these new costs starting now!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Antidumping Duties on Argentine Honey
The Department of Commerce found that producers and exporters from Argentina made sales of raw honey at less than normal value during the period of review, November 23, 2021 through May 31, 2023. As a result, some Argentine honey producers and exporters subject to this administrative review will have to pay extra antidumping duties.
Leveling Playing Field for U.S. Sellers
Commerce’s finding that certain Argentine raw honey sales were priced below normal value is intended to level the playing field for U.S. honey sellers. U.S. honey producers and sellers may see competitive relief because the duties on those Argentine producers are intended to reduce unfair price advantages tied to sales from November 23, 2021 through May 31, 2023.
