    The United States International Trade Commission has announced a schedule for a full review regarding the impact of potentially ending the investigation into fresh tomatoes imported from Mexico. This review, conducted under the Tariff Act of 1930, will examine whether ending the suspension could result in material injury reoccurring or continuing in a foreseeable future. The Commission has extended the review period by up to 90 days due to the review's complexity. Interested parties must submit requests and information by specified dates, with hearings and submissions scheduled through September 2025.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce conducted an expedited review and found that ending the agreement from 2019 that halts the investigation into antidumping of fresh tomatoes from Mexico could lead to unfair pricing practices, with potential dumping margins reaching up to 30.48%. The review involved responses from the Florida Tomato Exchange and the group NatureSweet, but only the response from FTE met the necessary requirements. The agreement covers all fresh or chilled tomatoes from Mexico, except those meant for processing into products like sauces or juices.
