Overview
- Commerce’s determination combines a 92% antidumping duty with the existing 15% levy on EU goods, scheduled to take effect in January.
- Thirteen named exporters warn they may pull products from U.S. shelves or raise prices, while Barilla is less exposed due to U.S. production.
- The review was launched after a request from two U.S. pasta manufacturers, and Commerce said two Italian firms were uncooperative during the probe.
- Pasta Garofalo and La Molisana dispute the findings, with La Molisana alleging Commerce misread net prices as gross in its calculations.
- Italian and EU officials condemned the move and Italy formed a task force to contest it, as the White House defended the process as routine compliance enforcement.
