International Trade Commission Votes to Continue Anti-dumping Duties
Placed on Chinese Honey

The International Trade Commission voted Monday, Nov. 19, to continue
anti-dumping duties on Chinese imported honey.  After testimony
presented earlier, the Commission decided that "removing the tariffs
would likely hurt the domestic industry."

"The commission voted 5-0 to maintain the protective measures on
Chinese honey following a second sunset review to determine whether
U.S. honey producers still needed the duties. Domestic trade groups,
The American Honey Producers Association and the Sioux Honey
Association, claimed honey from China being sold at below market value
would harm the industry," according to a story written by Jonathan
Randles of Law360.
