The investigation will examine 2024 imports and their impact on Mexico’s pork industry from 2022 to 2024reported the Ministry of Economy in the publication.
“The Secretariat may apply the definitive compensatory duties that, if applicable, are imposed on products that have been declared for consumption up to 90 days before the date of application of the provisional measures,” the text says.
The Mexican measure comes in the midst of a trade dispute between both countries, opened as a result of the imposition of tariffs on imports from different parts of the world by President Donald Trump, an action that has impacted Mexico above all as it is the main trading partner of the United States.
In April, after the US Department of Commerce announced that it was exiting a 1996 agreement to suspend tariffs on Mexican tomatoes, President Claudia Sheinbaum warned that there were two antidumping investigation processes that could be activated on two US products: chicken and pork.
It is not clear if the latest resolution is linked to that warning from the president.
