Monitoring of U.S. Imports of Tomatoes; Monitoring of U.S. Imports of Peppers

Краткое содержание

Pursuant to statute (see below), the Commission monitors U.S. imports of fresh or chilled tomatoes and fresh or chilled peppers, other than chili peppers, for the purpose of expediting an investigation under certain U.S. safeguard laws, should an appropriate petition be filed. As part of that monitoring, the Commission compiles data on imports and the domestic industry, and has made its data series available electronically to the public on an annual basis since 1994. The Commission is in the process of preparing its data series for the period ending June 30, 2006, and is seeking input from interested members of the public. The Commission expects to make its data series available to the public in November 2006 in electronic format, posted on the Commission's Web site.
