Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation reported that the United States has reduced tariffs on pasta from the country.
According to the Italian government, the United States Department of Commerce has released some assessments regarding anti-dumping duties on some Italian pasta brands, in anticipation of the conclusion of the investigation expected on March 11.
The post-preliminary analysis resets the rates provisionally set on September 4th downwards. From 91.74%, tariffs increase to 2.26% for La Molisana, 13.98% for Garofalo and 9.09% for the other 11 producers not sampled.
“The redefinition of tariffs is a sign of recognition of the effective willingness of our companies to collaborate on the part of the American authorities. It is also a sign of the effectiveness of the support provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Government from the beginning and which we intend to continue to ensure in view of the final decisions”, informed the Italian ministry, in a note.
