By Jens Erik Gould - Mon Aug 16 17:58:37 GMT 2010 Mexico will subject
additional imports from the US to retaliatory tariffs because of the
US government's failure to restore a program allowing Mexican trucks
to operate north of the border, Economy Minister Bruno Ferrari said.
Mexico will charge the duties on a rotating list of 99 U.S. products
worth about $2.5 billion, Ferrari told reporters today in Mexico City.
Ferrari didn’t immediately specify what new goods would be affected in
addition to the products already covered under tariffs imposed last
year.
Mexico’s government is waiting for the U.S. to propose a resolution to
the standoff, which started when the U.S. Congress ended a pilot
program last year that allowed Mexican trucks to deliver goods inside
the U.S. Mexico responded in March 2009 by putting import tariffs of
10 percent to 45 percent on U.S. goods including vegetables, wine,
juices, sunglasses and toothpaste.
