The United States has proposed a staggering 107% tariff on Italian pasta imports, a move that has sent shockwaves through Italy’s food industry and sparked international trade tensions. The decision stems from a U.S. Commerce Department investigation alleging that Italian pasta producers, including major exporters La Molisana and Garofalo, engaged in anti-competitive practices by selling products in the U.S. at below-market prices. This 92% anti-dumping duty would be added to the existing 15% tariff imposed by the Trump administration on European exports, potentially doubling the price of Italian pasta for American consumers.
