Message To Industry

Subject: Wheat Products Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ)

This message pertains to imports of wheat products classified under Customs Tariff headings: 11.01, 11.03, 11.04, 11.08, 11.09, 19.01, 19.02, 19.04, 19.05 and 23.02.

The purpose of this message is to inform you that the 2014-2015 Wheat Products tariff rate quota will be filled as of 11:59 p.m local time on October 24, 2014,  and that the within access commitment tariff items will be closed at that time.  Accordingly, General Import Permit No. 20 (wheat products) will be suspended from October 24, 2014 to July 31, 2015.  Firms wishing to import wheat products from October 24, 2014 to July 31, 2015 should cite General Import Permit No. 100, which allows firms to import eligible agricultural goods on the Import Control List at the over access commitment rates of duty.

Please note that after the TRQ level is reached, wheat products that qualify under the U.S., Mexican, Chilean, Peruvian, or Costa Rican tariff will continue to be assessed at the within access lower rate of duty.

A Notice to Importers explaining this action will be available on our web site at:
Wheat / Barley and their Products
