US Proposes 107% Tariff on Italian Pasta

The U.S. Commerce Department is considering a massive 170% tariff on Italian pasta imports, sparking concern in Italy and confusion in the U.S. The proposed duty, a combination of a 92% anti-dumping duty and an existing 15% tariff, is a response to allegations of Italian pasta makers selling products below market price. Italian officials and importers are rallying against the move, arguing theres no evidence to support the claims. The Commerce Departments investigation began in 2024 following complaints from U.S. pasta companies, and a final decision is expected in January.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
