2019 Food Preparations Tariff Rate Quota

WTO Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) commitment for food preparations containing more than 10 per cent but less than 50 per cent on a dry weight basis of milk solids, not in retail packaging, that are classified under tariff item  no. 1901.90.33

The purpose of this message is to inform importers that the 2019 tariff rate quota for food preparations containing more than 10 per cent but less than 50 per cent on a dry weight basis of milk solids, not in retail packaging, has only 14 kg of the access quantity remaining as of March 12, 2019, Eastern Standard Time.

As soon as the TRQ level is fully reached, a broadcast message will be released stating that the TRQ is closed for the 2019 quota year and specific import permits under the tariff rate quota will not be issued in respect to the relevant goods until January 1, 2010.

General Import Permit No. 100 – Eligible Agricultural Goods (GIP No. 100) will cover, for the balance of the 2019 quota year, unlimited imports classified under the “over access commitment” tariff item number at the “over access” tariff rate.
