(Reuters) -The U.S. Commerce Department on Monday said most tomatoes imported from Mexico to the United States will face duties of 20.91% from July 14 as it withdraws from an agreement it said had failed to protect domestic tomato growers.

"This action will allow U.S. tomato growers to compete fairly in the marketplace," the department said in a release.

In 2019, Mexican tomato producers struck an agreement with President Donald Trump's first administration to avert an anti-dumping investigation and end a tariff dispute.

At the time, the United States said the agreement closed loopholes and included an inspection mechanism.
