With regard to Fresh Tomatoes from Mexico: Suspension Agreement (http://ia.ita.doc.gov/tomato/), the ITA states that
“. . . on December 4, 2002, the Department of Commerce and producers/exporters accounting for substantially all imports of fresh tomatoes from Mexico signed this agreement suspending the antidumping investigation on fresh tomatoes from Mexico. The basis for the agreement was a commitment by each signatory producer/exporter to sell the subject merchandise at or above the reference price, which will eliminate completely the injurious effects of exports of fresh tomatoes to the United States. ”
Pursuant to Section IV.G. of the 2002 Suspension Agreement, the DOC has conducted an analysis of the reference prices. Effective November 1, 2003, the reference price below which signatories to the agreement may not sell fresh tomatoes from Mexico in the United States during the winter season (October 23–June 30) will be $0.2169/lb. The reference price for the summer season (July 1–October 22) will remain at $0.172/lb.
