Mexico Ends Ham Antidumping Case

The Mexican government announced that it had terminated an investigation into alleged dumping of U.S. hams initiated in May 2004 by the Mexican economy ministry. USMEF, along with the American Meat Institute and the National Pork Producers Council worked together to defend the U.S. industry in the ham investigation. The USMEF coalition filed an extensive brief in August 2004 arguing that the ministry illegally initiated the ham investigation and that imports from the United States were not the cause of financial problems experienced by the Mexican industry. U.S. processors then submitted responses to the ministry’s official questionnaire to demonstrate that their sales to Mexico were not dumping.
