Spain is confident the U.S. will remove additional custom duties on olive imports in coming months if a court in Washington rules again in favor of Spanish growers.

The U.S. Court of International Trade is set to issue its third decision on the matter by the end of July, after the previous rulings favorable to Spanish companies were appealed by the U.S. Commerce Department.
