Type: Notice
Date: 2017-06-12

On May 1, 2017, the Department notified the Government of Mexico (GOM) of its intent to terminate the Agreement Suspending the Antidumping Duty Investigation on sugar from Mexico (CVD Agreement) unless a new agreement was reached on or before June 5, 2017. The Department subsequently modified its notice of intent to terminate the CVD Agreement, stating its continued intent to terminate the CVD Agreement unless an amended agreement was reached on or before June 6, 2017.
