Summary

The International Trade Administration issued a notice extending the certification deadline for importers of fresh tomatoes from Mexico under the antidumping duty investigation A-201-820. The extension applies to importers who previously certified their eligibility for the applicable duty rate. The notice does not alter the underlying antidumping duty rates or investigation scope.

What changed

The Department of Commerce extended the deadline for importers to submit certifications regarding fresh tomatoes imported from Mexico under the antidumping duty case A-201-820. The notice references a prior document published February 18, 2026 (2026-03195) and modifies the certification timeline established in that action. This is an administrative extension of an existing procedural requirement, not a substantive change to antidumping duty rates or investigation findings.

Importers of fresh tomatoes from Mexico should verify the new certification deadline and ensure all required documentation is submitted timely. Companies that have already certified should confirm their certifications remain valid under the extended deadline. Non-compliance with certification requirements could result in the application of adverse duty rates to affected imports.

What to do next

Confirm the extended certification deadline with CBP or the Department of Commerce
Ensure any pending tomato import certifications from Mexico are filed before the new deadline
Review existing import procedures to ensure ongoing compliance with antidumping certification requirements
