USITC MAKES DETERMINATION IN CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES REVIEW CONCERNING FRESH TOMATOES FROM MEXICO
The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that there are not changed circumstances sufficient to warrant revocation of the existing antidumping order on imports of fresh tomatoes from Mexico.
Commissioners Jason E. Kearns and Amy A. Karpel voted that there are not such changed circumstances. Chairman David S. Johanson did not participate in the vote.
As a result of the Commission’s determination, the existing order on imports of this product from Mexico will continue.
Today's action follows the Commission’s institution of investigation, dated January 21, 2026, under section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1675(b)), to review its determination in Inv. No. 731-TA-747 (Final). See the attached background information for more information about changed circumstances reviews.
The Commission’s public report, Fresh Tomatoes from Mexico (Inv. No. 751-TA-30, USITC Publication 5762, July 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigation.
The report will be available on the USITC website by August 17, 2026.
BACKGROUND
Changed circumstances reviews are made by the U.S. Department of Commerce and/or the USITC with respect to final affirmative determinations that resulted in a countervailing duty order or antidumping duty order. They also apply to suspension agreements that resulted from a countervailing duty or antidumping duty investigation. Commerce and the USITC conduct such reviews under section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1675(b)) based on information or at the request of an interested party. The USITC's regulation regarding changed circumstances reviews can be found at 19 C.F.R. § 207.45.
In changed circumstances reviews involving a countervailing duty or antidumping duty order, the USITC shall determine whether revocation of the order or finding is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. In reviews involving a suspension agreement, the USITC must determine whether the suspension agreement continues to eliminate completely the injurious effects of imports of the subject merchandise.
