Mexican Tomato Duties Resume After Review Abruptly Ends
Published Date: 7/30/2025
Notice
Summary
The government looked into whether stopping special duties on fresh tomatoes from Mexico would hurt U.S. tomato growers. Since the deal that paused these duties ended in July 2025, the review is now over. This means fresh tomatoes from Mexico will face new duties, affecting importers and possibly prices starting mid-2025.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Antidumping Duties Begin for Mexican Tomatoes
If you import fresh tomatoes from Mexico, antidumping duties apply starting July 14, 2025 because the Department of Commerce withdrew from the 2019 suspension agreement and issued an antidumping duty order; Commerce published notice on July 17, 2025. This change directly raises costs for importers of Mexican fresh tomatoes.
Possible Higher Retail Tomato Prices
You may see higher retail prices for fresh tomatoes after July 14, 2025 because Commerce ended the suspension agreement and issued an antidumping duty order on imports from Mexico (notice published July 17, 2025). The document says importers and prices will be affected starting in mid-2025.
