Dec 15 (Reuters) - Mexico has opened an anti-dumping and anti-subsidy probe into U.S. pork leg and shoulder imports after domestic producers alleged unfair pricing and government support, the government said on Monday.
The investigation will examine 2024 imports and their impact on Mexico’s pork industry from 2022 to 2024, Mexico's Economy Ministry said in a publication in Mexico's government bulletin.
The probe, opened after petitions from five Mexican pork companies, covers U.S.-origin pork even if shipped via third countries and could lead to duties despite current tariff exemptions.
The companies argue that imports from the U.S. rose steadily in recent years and that imports were sold at unfairly low prices and/or supported by subsidies, the economy ministry said.
