Border Trade Alliance and members respond to Department of Commerce proposal to reinstate Tomato Suspension Agreement

The BTA on September 9 filed these comments in response to a Department of Commerce proposal regarding the Tomato Suspension Agreement. In its letter, the BTA cites its support for the removal of any duties on imported fresh tomatoes from Mexico, but the organization maintains its serious concerns over a planned inspection regime that could severely disrupt trade.
