Federal Orders Continue on Certain Preserved Mushrooms
Estimated reading time: 2–4 minutes
The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided to continue the antidumping duty (AD) orders on certain preserved mushrooms from Chile, China, India, and Indonesia. This decision follows findings by the Commerce Department and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that stopping the orders would likely lead to more dumping and harm to U.S. industries.
On December 2, 1998, and February 19, 1999, the Commerce Department first put these AD orders in place. They were meant to protect U.S. businesses from unfair foreign pricing on preserved mushrooms imported from the mentioned countries.
In February 2026, the ITC started its fifth review to consider if the AD orders should continue. The Commerce Department, as part of this review, found that removing the orders might cause dumping to continue. It informed the ITC about these findings.
On July 16, 2026, the ITC agreed. It stated that ending the orders would likely result in harm to the U.S. mushroom industry. Therefore, the AD orders will stay in effect.
The orders cover preserved mushrooms from the species Agaricus Bisporus and Agaricus Bitorquis. These can be whole, sliced, diced, or in pieces. They are preserved by cleaning, blanching, and are often in liquid such as water or brine. Notably, other types of mushrooms, fresh, frozen, dried, pickled, or marinated mushrooms are not included in the order.
Customs will keep collecting AD cash deposits for these mushrooms at current rates. The next review of these orders is expected before the fifth anniversary of this decision.
The continued enforcement of these orders emphasizes the Commerce Department’s efforts to support fair trade practices and safeguard U.S. industries against foreign market disruptions.
