Spain's Ripe Olives Land in the Middle of a Trade Fight
Published Date: 6/16/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Spanish olive producers sold ripe olives in the U.S. for less than fair value between August 2022 and July 2023. This means certain companies will face antidumping duties to keep things fair for American businesses. These final results take effect on June 16, 2025, impacting importers and exporters with possible extra costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Named Spanish producers assigned dumping margins
Commerce found that certain Spanish producers/exporters sold ripe olives at less than fair value for the period August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2023, and assigned final weighted-average dumping margins of 2.64% to Agro Sevilla Aceitunas, S. Coop. And and 3.68% to Angel Camacho Alimentación, S.L., with Aceitunera del Norte de Cáceres and Alimentary Group DCOOP each at 3.08%. These margins apply as the final results published June 16, 2025.
Cash deposit rates take effect June 16, 2025
For shipments of ripe olives from Spain entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after June 16, 2025, cash deposit rates will equal the weighted-average dumping margins established in the final results for companies subject to this review. The all-others cash deposit rate remains 19.98% and company-specific rules apply for exporters/producers covered in prior segments.
CBP assessment timing and reimbursement certificate rule
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries in accordance with these final results; Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after the Federal Register publication, and liquidation may be held if a timely summons is filed (preserving the 90-day statutory injunction window). Importers must file a reimbursement certificate under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) prior to liquidation or Commerce may presume reimbursement and assess double antidumping duties or increase duties by the amount of any countervailing duties.
Non‑examined companies assigned averaged rate
Companies not selected for individual examination in this administrative review will be assigned an estimated weighted-average dumping margin based on the average of Agro Sevilla's and Camacho's rates (2.64% and 3.68%) weighted by their publicly available U.S. sales, and CBP will be instructed to liquidate entries for non-selected separate rate applicants at that average. For other entries lacking an intermediate-company rate, Commerce will instruct liquidation at the all-others rate when applicable.
