Certain U.S. Pork Items Could Face Additional 14 Percent Duty Beginning May 16

Selected U.S. pork cuts could face an additional 14 percent duty from May 16, due to a World Trade Organization (WTO) ruling against the United States in a case the European Union (EU) brought against the U.S. Foreign Sales Corporation. U.S. ham and other boneless pork cuts falling under the HS codes 0203 22 11, 0203 29 55, 0203 29 59 and 0203 29 90 may be affected.
