Tariffs on some U.S. produce going to Mexico are expected to disappear soon, ending a trade dispute that hinged on a cross-border trucking program.One Mexican carrier - Transportes Olympics - was issued long-haul operating authority in the U.S. on October 14, according to a notice in the Federal Register. That step should mean Mexico will soon lift 10% retaliatory tariffs in place against U.S. apples, cherries, grapes, oranges, onions and other commodities.
John Keeling, president of the Washington, D.C.-based National Potato Council, said October 13 he was told Mexican trucks could start operating in the U.S. within days.
