Anti-Dumping Trade Case
In 1999, the International Trade Commission and the
U.S. Department of Commerce determined that the domestic canned
mushroom industry was being harmed by imports priced lower
than the cost of production from China, Chile, India and Indonesia.
This action mandated that duties be paid on processed mushroom products
that are exported from these countries to the United States. This was
the first important victory by the Coalition for Fair Preserved Mushroom Trade,
a group of domestic canners who were petitioners in these anti-dumping cases.
Since that time, annual reviews, new shipper reviews,
scope investigations and appeals have been conducted, targeting those countries
and exporters that pose the greatest threat to the U.S. domestic market.
Tariffs have remained high on some shippers, while those who have raised
their prices have been given lower rates.
