MEXICO CITY, Aug. 11, 2010 -- Mexico Wednesday ended its anti-dumping duties on imported U.S. beef, the Mexican Economy Ministry said in a statement.
Mexico had charged from 3 to 80 U.S. cents per kg of beef since 2000 when Mexican officials concluded U.S. beef was dumped on the Mexican market.
Mexico reviewed the anti-dumping duties after a U.S. beef company, Tyson Fresh Meats, which also produces beef in Mexico, appealed against the duties
in 2008. Effective Wednesday (August 11th) and retroactive to April 29th, all U.S. beef will cross the border duty-free, companies which paid duties
since April 29th will be eligible for a refundBob and Susan - 8-14-2010 at 05:46 AM

View food 101! It will give you new perspective on a Mc Donalds hamburger and how it came from over 60,000 cows. Monsanto Corn and the whole organic
thing.Dave - 8-14-2010 at 11:35 AM
This ruling benefits companies who import U.S. Beef. It would be wrong to assume that you can now bring a trailer full of t-bones through
customs.irenemm - 8-14-2010 at 07:33 PM
Let's see if they lower the beef prices in the stores. Not likely. Extra porfit.Bob and Susan - 8-15-2010 at 04:50 AM
irenemm...
you've been down here too long
beef is the same price as stores in southern california
prices in the states are climbing daily
beef here is probably better for you too...no hormonesirenemm - 8-15-2010 at 04:55 PM
Most of the beef that is in the stores in Ensenada and many markets here in the San Quintin area is from Canada and the States. We buy it by the case.
Some is from Mexico it is the higher priced one.
the no hormones beef was a very long time ago. Since Nafta it is not that way any more.
Still a few local butchers that buy local beef but so not worth it.
I know beef is the same as or almost the same as the states but you have to remember many people only make 600. pesos a week so it is to high and
should come down. If the tariff is lower than the price should reflect it.
Can only hope. But know it will not happen
yes I have been here a long time 30 years.Cypress - 8-15-2010 at 05:12 PM
Beef in Baja? A cow, a calf, a steer? It's all good!tjBill - 8-16-2010 at 12:28 AM
A butcher at Tijuana Walmart told me they are the only chain in town the uses Mexican beef. The rest, Commericial Mexicana, Calimax and Sorianos,
import it from the US.taxcutter - 8-16-2010 at 04:21 PM
Does this mean they will no longer take my beef in GN?
60,000 Cows ?

Now, that's one BIG Mac.
Is that what they mean by Supersize ?
Whenever there's a discussion of "Bad" Burgers I think back to my youth in South L.A. and the "El Rey Mexican Foods" factory on South Avalon which
had a retail walk-up window and served (possibly) the second-best tasting Hamburgers I'd ever had. Best was at the Jai Alai Palace in TJ.
We were always disappointed when we'd go down to El Rey and find out they'd been closed down by the Health Department. Which was often. Couldn't
wait for them to open up again so we could get those great Burgers.
