Protecting Seasonal US Produce: New Trade Rules Against Unfair Imports.
This law establishes special customs rules for seasonal agricultural producers, such as fruit and vegetable growers. It makes it easier for domestic farmers to file trade cases against foreign competitors engaged in unfair pricing or subsidized imports. Crucially, protective tariffs resulting from these cases will only apply during the specific US growing season, aiming to safeguard domestic jobs and market stability.
Key points
Easier process for seasonal farmers to seek protection against unfair trade practices (dumping or subsidies).
Protective tariffs on imported produce will be limited only to the specific US harvest season.
The changes apply to raw agricultural products and include goods imported from Canada and Mexico.
