Ministry Retains Beef Antidumping Duties

On April 24, 2006, Mexico’s Secretaria de Economia (SE) published its final determination in the sunset review of the antidumping duties on bone-in and boneless cuts of beef produced and exported from the United States.  SE decided not to revoke the existing duties on bone-in and boneless cuts of beef, concluding that removal of the duties would likely result in the continuation or recurrence of injurious dumping. The existing duties will remain in effect for five years (until April 28, 2010), unless the sunset review decision is successfully appealed or challenged at the WTO. Complete analysis of the final determination is available from USMEF’s Denver office upon request. Please contact Keri Blunt at kblunt@usmef.org. AMI and USMEF are considering their next step.
