The U.S. slapped a 10% levy on Canadian pork.

The U.S. International Trade Commission imposed the levy on live swine only, retroactive to April 3. It refused to add duties to the prices of fresh or frozen cuts, however, disappointing U.S. producers who expect the Canadians to increase shipments of processed pork. Domestic producers complained that growing Canadian sales, which rose to 2.6% of the market this year from 1.5% last year, were aided by Canadian government subsidies.
