Thirteen Italian pasta brands could pull their products from US grocery stores — or potentially be forced to hike prices dramatically as soon as January, when punishing 107% tariffs are set to take effect.

The levies — the highest the White House has moved to impose on a specific product since the start of President Trump’s crackdown on imports — come from the US’ 15% baseline tariff on European Union goods plus a punishing 92% levy over accusations that Italian pasta makers have been undercutting US competitors.

The Commerce Department says the penne purveyors have been violating “antidumping” laws, exporting their products to the US market at a very low price to gain an advantage over local businesses.

Along with Pasta Garofalo, La Molisana and Rummo, the impacted pasta brands include Agritalia, Aldino, Antiche Tradizioni Di Gragnano, Barilla, Gruppo Milo, Pastificio Artigiano Cav. Giuseppe Cocco, Pastificio Chiavenna, Pastificio Liguori, Pastificio Sgambaro and Pastificio Tamma.



What if goodfellas want all that tariff money back?
And payment is late?



This could be a bonanza for Democrats. In a photo from the Spurious photo agency, fellas are exiting DNC Headquarters after discussing "Affordability". It is hoped that they will help defeat "Mario Combover" and his anti-immigrant goons.
