Notice to Importers - Tariff Rate Quotas

On May 1, 2017 Global Affairs Canada issued new Notices to Importers (Notices) for two Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQs) that are administered on the TRQ year basis of August 1st to July 31st. These updated Notices reflect the policies and procedures associated with the administration of the following TRQs:

  • Powdered Whey (Item 125.1 on the Import Control List)
  • Specialty Creams (Item 117.1 on the Import Control List)

These Notices have been updated to reflect the department’s recent name change from Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada to Global Affairs Canada, to establish a new application deadline date of June 15th and to address grammatical and formatting issues within the various Notices.

There are no policy changes regarding the administration of the above noted TRQs.
