Rome is working closely with the European Commission to press the United States to reconsider an additional anti-dumping tariff on pasta imports which would effectively double their price, the Italian foreign ministry said. These would be on top of the 15% U.S. tax on most imports from the 27-nation EU, and would be applied from January 2026.
The decision to impose an extra duty of 91.74% is the result of proceedings by the U.S Department of Commerce which found that two major Italian producers were allegedly selling pasta at unfairly low prices - a practice known as dumping - between July 2023 and June 2024.
