AMS to Review Small Business Impact of Mango Fees

The Agricultural Marketing Service is conducting a review of its marketing and promotion order on mangoes. Under the mango order, importers of mangoes that handle more than 500,000 pounds per year must pay a $0.0075 assessment to CBP per dollar of mangoes imported. The money is used for marketing and promotion efforts to expand the domestic market for mangoes. AMS is asking for comments on the order’s effect on small businesses. Comments are due Aug. 19.
