If you don't know, honey smuggling is a large operation. Since 2001, Chinese honey that enters the U.S. has anti-dumping duties on it because Chinese honey was being sold at such low prices that it was harmful to the U.S. beekeeping industry. Also, some Chinese honey has been found to have illegal antibiotics in it and is many times mixed with corn syrup to make a larger profit. After the anti-dumping duties took affect, honey started to be transshipped to other countries so that it would avoid these duties. Since then, Homeland Security and the DOJ have fined and arrested people that have been smuggling Chinese honey into the U.S. illegally. Just recently the proposed preliminary renewed anti-dumping duties against Chinese honey have been set at $1.19/lb. This is good news for American beekeepers: hopefully it will deter corrupt honey companies from smuggling in Chinese honey. Purchase honey with the True Source Certified logo on it to make sure that your honey is not from China.
