Mexican Government Drops One Pork Antidumping Case, Starts New One
The Mexican government has concluded its antidumping investigation against U.S. pork without imposing any dumping duties. A new antidumping investigation on U.S. pork hams, both frozen and fresh (HS codes 0203.12.01 and 0203.22.01) has been inaugurated which will look at imports of these items from the U.S. in the whole of 2003.
The parties to the investigation will have until 2:00 p.m. on February 2, 2005 to present evidence. A public hearing on the issue is scheduled for January 21, 2005 at the Secretariat of Economics' Unit of International Trade Practices.
USMEF is assessing how it should respond to a questionnaire on the antidumping issue due July 8.

Indonesia Lifts Ban On U.S. Beef
Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture announced May 31 that it had lifted its ban on imports of U.S. beef.
The Indonesian announcement specifically stated that meat, semen, embryos, liver, hearts and leg tendons can now be exported to Indonesia. The announcement said the ministry based its decision on an analysis of developments of the BSE situation in the United States, as well as the strict control and monitoring measures implemented in the United States.
The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) reports that the ministry has already officially allowed the entry of two containers of U.S. beef prime cuts.
USMEF ASEAN Manager Eric Choon worked closely with key contacts in Indonesia and with the FAS at the Embassy in Jakartato persuade the government to lift the ban. Choon understands that brains (and presumably all related central nervous system tissues) and mechanically de-boned meat are the only items still on the banned list. Choon is also expecting and preparing for an inspection visit to the U.S. by Indonesian government officials.
USMEF expects that the Indonesian traders will buy more short ribs, hearts and livers.
