Commission Began Review To Re‑Examine Order
On January 21, 2026, the U.S. International Trade Commission instituted a review to determine whether revoking the antidumping duty order on fresh tomatoes from Mexico is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to a U.S. industry. The review could lead the Commission to affirm or change its prior determination about the antidumping order.
