The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that termination of the existing suspended investigations on sugar from Mexico would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the suspension of the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on imports of these products from Mexico will remain in place.
Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.
Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.
The Commission’s public report, Sugar from Mexico (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-513 and 731-TA-1249 (Second Review), USITC Publication 5664, September 2025), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.
The report will be available by October 3, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
BACKGROUND
The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.
