The Trump administration has sharply rolled back proposed antidumping tariffs on Italian-made pasta, dramatically reducing duties that had threatened to hit some producers with rates exceeding 90 percent, Italy’s foreign ministry said on Jan. 1.
The ministry said the U.S. Department of Commerce had issued post-preliminary findings that cut proposed duties on 13 Italian pasta producers from a provisional rate of 91.74 percent to significantly lower levels, including 2.26 percent for La Molisana and 13.98 percent for Pastificio Lucio Garofalo.
