The merchandise subject to this 2019 Agreement is all fresh or chilled tomatoes (fresh tomatoes) which have Mexico as their origin, except for those tomatoes which are for processing. For purposes of this 2019 Agreement, processing is defined to include preserving by any commercial process, such as canning, dehydrating, drying, or the addition of chemical substances, or converting the tomato product into juices, sauces, or purees. In Appendix F of this 2019 Agreement, Commerce has outlined the procedure that Signatories must follow for selling subject merchandise for processing. Fresh tomatoes that are imported for cutting up, not further processing (e.g., tomatoes used in the preparation of fresh salsa or salad bars), are covered by this 2019 Agreement. Commercially grown tomatoes, both for the fresh market and for processing, are classified as Lycopersicon esculentum. Important commercial varieties of fresh tomatoes include common round, cherry, grape, plum, greenhouse, and pear tomatoes, all of which are covered by this Agreement. Tomatoes imported from Mexico covered by this 2019 Agreement are classified under the following subheading of the Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the United States (HTSUS), according to the season of importation: 0702. Although this HTSUS number is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this 2019 Agreement is dispositive. Intent To Terminate Suspension Agreement and Issue Antidumping Duty Order On April 14, 2025, Commerce notified all Mexican Signatory producers/exporters of its intent to exercise its option under Section XI.B of the 2019 Agreement to withdraw from the 2019 Agreement. In accordance with Section XI.B of the 2019 Agreement, Commerce's withdrawal from the 2019 Agreement shall be effective on July 14, 2025, which is 90 days after such notice. On July 14, 2025, Commerce intends to terminate the 2019 Agreement and issue an AD order, in accordance with section 734(i)(1)(C) of the Act. As noted above, the underlying AD investigation in this proceeding was continued pursuant to section 734(g) of the Act, following the acceptance of the 2019 Agreement. Commerce made a final affirmative determination, and the ITC found a threat of material injury. Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c) of the Act, Commerce will issue an AD order and instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise, effective July 14, 2025. Because the effective date for Commerce's withdrawal would fall on the weekend (i.e., Sunday, July 13, 2025), the effective date became the next business day. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). See 2019 Final Determination. See ITC Final Determination. Intent To Rescind Administrative Review Commerce is currently conducting two administrative reviews of the 2019 Agreement. Commerce initiated one review on November 15, 2023, for the period of review from September 1, 2022, through August 31, 2023 (2022-2023 review). Commerce initiated the second review on October 17, 2024, for the period of review from September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024 (2023-2024 review). The final results of the 2022- 2023 review are due to be issued by Commerce on July 8, 2025, prior to the effective date of termination of the 2019 Agreement on July 14, 2025. However, if Commerce terminates the 2019 Agreement, the ongoing 2023-2024 review would be moot. Therefore, Commerce will rescind the 2023-2024 review of the 2019 Agreement on July 14, 2025, the effective date of termination of the 2019 Agreement. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 78298 (November 15, 2023). See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 89 FR 83644 (October 17, 2024). International Trade Commission Commerce has notified the ITC of its intent to terminate the 2019 Agreement and issue the AD order. See Commerce's Letter, ``Withdrawal from the 2019 Suspension Agreement,'' dated concurrently with this notice. Suspension of Liquidation As described above, if Commerce terminates the 2019 Agreement and resumes the AD investigation, Commerce will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation of entries of fresh tomatoes from Mexico that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the July 14, 2025, effective date of the termination of the 2019 Agreement. CBP shall require AD cash deposits for entries of the subject merchandise based on the final weighted-average dumping margins, which range from 3.91 to 30.48 percent. See 2019 Final Determination at 84 FR 57402. Notification to Interested Parties This determination is issued and published in accordance with section 734(i) of the Act. Dated: April 14, 2025.

These HTS headings are recorded in the case linkage: 0702.00.20, 0702.00.40, 0702.00.60. Confirm the exact ten-digit code against the published scope language, because product descriptions rather than codes alone define the legal boundary of the order, and scope rulings occasionally widen or narrow which lines inherit the deposit obligation.
