The U.S. International Trading Commission has expanded its tracking of tart cherry juice imports to help growers better analyze the impact on the domestic industry.
Head of the Cherry Marketing Institute Julie Gordon tells Brownfield the organization tried to bring a trade case against dried cherry importers dumping into the U.S. in 2019 but lost because of product commingling and coding issues.
“We figured out that there were multiple different items going into that one code and that was part of the problem (as to) why we lost the trade case,” she shares.
