U.S. Cuts Provisional Pasta Tariffs for Italian Brands Ahead of Final Ruling

The recalculation precedes a March 11, 2026 determination that will set the definitive duty levels.

Overview

  • The Commerce Department issued a redetermination lowering provisional anti-dumping rates on select Italian pasta brands.
  • La Molisana’s provisional dumping rate falls to 2.26%, bringing the total with the existing 15% EU tariff to roughly 17.2%.
  • Garofalo’s rate is set at 13.98% and eleven other producers at 9.09%, putting totals near 28.9% and 24.09% respectively, according to Italy’s foreign ministry.
  • The revised figures supplant an earlier 91.74% margin that would have driven combined charges to about 107%.
  • The investigation under a 1996 anti-dumping order remains active, with Italy’s Farnesina calling the shift a recognition of company cooperation after earlier concerns over incomplete submissions.
