The United States has rolled back proposed steep duties on Italian pasta exports to the U.S., the U.S. Department of Commerce and Italy’s foreign ministry said Thursday, January 1.

The Commerce Department has sharply reduced proposed antidumping duties on 13 Italian pasta producers, cutting rates from as high as 92% to between 2.26% and nearly 14%, according to Italy’s foreign ministry. The duties would apply in addition to existing 15% tariffs on most European Union exports to the United States.

The Trump administration initially proposed the levies after a Commerce Department review found that Italian pasta makers — including Barilla, La Molisana and Pastificio Lucio Garofalo — sold products at prices deemed artificially low, undercutting U.S. manufacturers. The 13 companies account for about 16% of Italy’s pasta exports to the U.S., the Commerce Department said.

Had the higher duties taken effect, Italian producers could have faced higher barriers to the U.S. market, potentially leading some companies to halt shipments.

Italy’s foreign ministry said the recalculation of duties shows that U.S. authorities recognize the cooperation of Italian companies during the review process.

Under the revised rates, La Molisana will face a 2.26% duty, Garofalo nearly 14%, while 11 other Italian pasta brands will be subject to a 9% tariff.

The final results of the U.S. Commerce Department’s review are expected in March, after which the duties will take effect.
