Investigations Could Protect U.S. Growers

Canadian Mushroom Imports May Face New Duties
Imports of fresh mushrooms from Canada (HTS subheading 0709.51.01) are under investigation for being sold at less than fair value and for receiving Canadian government subsidies. If those allegations are sustained, extra taxes (antidumping or countervailing duties) could be imposed on those imports, affecting Canadian exporters and U.S. importers. The Commission's preliminary determination is due October 31, 2025 and its views are due to Commerce by November 7, 2025.
