U.S. imposing 17.5% tariff on Mexican tomato imports

The U.S. will impose a 17.5% tariff on Mexican tomato imports starting on Tuesday, as the two countries were unable to renew a 2013 agreement that suspended a U.S. anti-dumping investigation, Reuters reported a Mexican official as saying.
The U.S. Commerce Department said in early February that the U.S. would resume an anti-dumping investigation into Mexican tomatoes, withdrawing from The Tomato Suspension Agreement that halted the investigation as long as Mexican producers sold their tomatoes above a pre-determined price.
Many U.S. tomato growers and lawmakers say that deal has failed.
At the time, the Commerce Department said it was giving the required 90-day notice before terminating the agreement.
