SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 19, 2019, Commerce
signed an agreement 1 under section
734(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), with representatives
of Mexican fresh tomato producers/
exporters 2 accounting for substantially
all imports of fresh tomatoes from
Mexico, suspending the antidumping
duty (AD) investigation on fresh
tomatoes from Mexico.3
On September 25, 2020, the Florida
Tomato Exchange (FTE),4 a member of
the U.S. petitioning industry, filed a
request for an administrative review of
the 2019 Agreement.5 On September 30,
2020, Bioparques and Negocio Agricola
San Enrique S.A. de C.V. (NASE) also
requested reviews.6

The review of the 2019 Agreement
was initiated on October 30, 2020.7
Commerce inadvertently identified the
period of review (POR) as September 1,
2019, through August 31, 2020, but
corrected the POR on January 7, 2021,
to reflect the period from September 19,
2019 to August 31, 2020.8 On January 7,
2021, Commerce selected mandatory
respondents and issued its
questionnaire to the three largest
respondents, listed here in alphabetical
order: Bioparques, Del Campo, and
Productora Agricola.9
Scope of the 2019 Agreement
Merchandise covered by the 2019
Agreement is typically imported under
the following heading of the HTSUS:
Tomatoes imported from Mexico
covered by this Agreement are classified
under the following subheading of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the
United States (HTSUS), according to the
season of importation: 0702. The tariff
classification is provided for
convenience and customs purposes;
however, the written description of the
scope of this 2019 Agreement is
dispositive.10
Methodology and Preliminary Results
Commerce has conducted this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(C)
of the Act, which specifies that
Commerce shall ‘‘review the current
status of, and compliance with, any
agreement by reason of which an
the 2019 Agreement, in conducting this
administrative review, we are not calculating new
margins for the companies under review, as we
would in an administrative review of an order.
Rather, in addition to examining compliance with
the terms of the agreement, generally, we are
examining whether for the sales during the period
of review the respondents complied with the price
undertakings specified in section VI of the 2019
Agreement, i.e., not making sales below the
Reference Prices established in Appendix A and
eliminating the required percentage of dumping
from the original investigation, i.e., 85 percent.

Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 85 FR

Review of the 2019 Agreement Suspending the
Antidumping Duty Investigation on Fresh Tomatoes
from Mexico: Respondent Selection and Corrected
Period of Review’’ (January 7, 2021). See also
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 86 FR 8166 (February 4,
2021) at footnote 10. As the 2019 Agreement was
signed on September 19, 2019, this date is the
beginning of the POR.

investigation was suspended.’’ In this
case, Commerce and representatives of
the Mexican tomato producers/exporters
accounting for substantially all imports
of fresh tomatoes from Mexico signed
the 2019 Agreement, which suspended
the underlying antidumping duty
investigation, on September 19, 2019.
Pursuant to the 2019 Agreement, the
Mexican signatories agreed that the
subject merchandise would be subject to
minimum reference prices and that at
least 85 percent of the dumping from
the original investigation would be
eliminated.11 The Mexican signatories
also agreed to other conditions,
including quarterly audits,12 near-theborder inspections by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture on all Round
and Roma tomatoes and certain other
types of tomatoes beginning on April 4,
2020,13 and limits to adjustments to the
sales price due to certain changes in
condition and quality after shipment.14
After reviewing the information
received to date from the respondent
companies in their questionnaire and
supplemental questionnaire responses,
we preliminarily determine that the
respondents have adhered to the terms
of the 2019 Agreement, except for
certain instances of inadvertent and/or
inconsequential noncompliance, and
that the 2019 Agreement is functioning
as intended. Further, we preliminarily
determine that the 2019 Agreement
continues to meet the statutory
requirements under sections 734(c) and
(d) of the Act. For a full description of
the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. Commerce is
addressing proprietary issues
concerning each of the respondents in
separate memoranda which we
incorporate into the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.15
Verification
As provided in section 782(i)(3)(a) of
the Act, Commerce intends to verify the
information relied upon in making its
final results. Normally, Commerce
verifies information using standard
procedures, including an on-site
examination of original accounting,
financial, and sales documentation.
