The notice on terminating the agreement in the Federal Register also signals the start of an antidumping duty investigation into Mexico’s tomato imports into the U.S.
Steps leading to the Commerce Department’s decision to announce Feb. 6 it was dropping the agreement — triggering a required 90-day notice of its intentions — is detailed in the pre-published notice on the Federal Register.
