Mexico Fertilizer Duty Is Anti-Dumping Case, Not Payback, Says Sheinbaum
Sheinbaum says Mexico's fertilizer duty is an anti-dumping case, not payback for China's pecan measure. The post Mexico Fertilizer Duty Is Anti-Dumping Case, Not Payback, Says Sheinbaum appeared first on The Rio Times .
President Claudia Sheinbaum clarified that Mexico's fertilizer duty imposed on China is not in retaliation for China's pecan measure, but rather stems from a separate anti-dumping case. She reiterated that the duty is not a political matter and that Mexico is in communication with China and its producers to address the issue. The definitive anti-dumping duty on Chinese ammonium sulfate was set at US$0.1488 per kilogram, taking effect on August 15, 2026.
China imposed preliminary anti-dumping deposits on Mexican pecans ranging from 17.8 to 51.6 percent, with US pecans facing a 54.3 percent rate, effective August 11, 2026. The US also maintains an anti-dumping duty order on Mexican tomatoes, with a 17.09 percent all-others rate.
