Message To Industry

Subject: Barley Products Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ)

This message pertains to imports of barley products classified under Customs Tariff headings: 11.02, 11.03, 11.04, 11.07, 11.08, 19.01, 19.04 and 23.02.

The purpose of this message is to inform you that the 2015-16 barley products tariff rate quota will be filled as of 11:59 pm local time on October 16, 2015, and that the within access commitment tariff items will be closed at that time.

Once the TRQ level is reached, GIP No. 20 will be suspended in respect to the relevant  goods until July 31, 2016, and GIP  No. 100 “Eligible Agricultural Goods” will cover, for the balance of the 2015-16 marketing year, unlimited imports classified under the "over access commitment" tariff item number.  Therefore, as of 11:59 p.m. local time on October 16, 2015, importers of barley products may no longer invoke GIP No. 20 when importing such goods.

Please note that after the TRQ level is reached, barley 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
