Final Results of Antidumping Duty Review on Preserved Mushrooms from the Netherlands

Estimated reading time: 1–7 minutes

The Department of Commerce has released its final findings for an important trade case involving preserved mushrooms from the Netherlands. The review period covered sales made between November 3, 2022, and April 30, 2024.

Key Findings:

The main outcome of the review is that Okechamp B.V., a company that exports these mushrooms to the United States, sold them at prices lower than what is usual. This practice is known as “dumping,” and it can hurt businesses in the U.S. by undercutting local prices.

Background:

The investigation began in 2025. It involved looking at sales data and documents to see if unfair pricing occurred. Both Okechamp and an American company, Giorgio Foods, submitted their opinions on the matter through official letters.

Important Details:

Because there was a government shutdown in 2025, all deadlines for the review had to be extended. However, the Commerce Department completed its work and set April 17, 2026, as the new deadline for reporting the final results.

Final Decision:

For the review period, Okechamp has a dumping margin of $0.44 per kilogram of drained mushrooms. This means that the Department of Commerce has determined how much Okechamp undersold its mushrooms in the U.S. market.

Impact on Duties:

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will now adjust the duties (taxes) Okechamp must pay based on these findings. If the margin is higher than a small amount known as “de minimis,” duties will be collected. If it’s very small or zero, then no extra duties will be charged.

Cash Deposit Requirements:

When Okechamp continues to import mushrooms into the U.S., they must make a cash deposit. This deposit will be per unit, not a percentage of the total price, due to a significant difference in their pricing strategies.

Conclusion:

The Department of Commerce’s findings help ensure that trade is fair. By making sure foreign companies do not sell products too cheaply, they aim to protect U.S. businesses and jobs. This process is part of regular reviews to maintain a level playing field.
