Consolidated TPP Text – Appendix A to Tariff Schedule of Canada - (Tariff Rate Quotas)
Section A – General Provisions
1. This Appendix sets out the modifications to the Schedule to Canada’s Customs Tariff that reflect the tariff rate quotas (TRQs) that Canada shall apply to certain originating goods under this Agreement. In particular, originating goods of Parties included under this Appendix shall be subject to the rates of duty set out in this Appendix in lieu of the rates of duty specified in Chapters 1 through 97 of the Schedule to Canada’s Customs Tariff. Notwithstanding any other provision of Canada’s Customs Tariff, originating goods under this Agreement in the quantities described in this Appendix shall be permitted entry into the territory of Canada as provided in this Appendix. Furthermore, any quantity of originating goods imported from a Party under a TRQ provided for in this Appendix shall not be counted toward the in-quota quantity of any TRQ provided for such goods under Canada’s WTO tariff schedule or any other trade agreement.
2. The product or products covered by each TRQ set out in Section B are informally identified in the title to the paragraph setting out the TRQ. These titles are included solely to assist readers in understanding this Appendix and shall not alter or supersede the coverage established through identification of covered codes of Canada’s Customs Tariff.
3. Canada shall administer all TRQs provided for in this Agreement and set out in Section B of this Appendix according to the following provisions:
- (a) Canada shall administer its TRQs through an import licensing system.
- (b) Notwithstanding the definition of “year” provided in paragraph 6(c) of Section A to Annex 2-D (Tariff Commitments), “quota year” in this appendix means the 12-month period over which a TRQ applies and is allocated. “quota year 1” has the meaning assigned to “year 1” in subparagraph 6(a)(iv )(A) of Section A to Annex 2-D (Tariff Commitments).
- (c) Canada shall allocate its TRQs each quota year to eligible applicants. An eligible applicant means a resident of Canada, active in the applicable Canadian dairy, poultry or egg sector, as appropriate , and that is compliant with the Export and Import Permits Act and its regulations. In assessing eligibility, Canada shall not discriminate against applicants who have not previously imported the product subject to a TRQ but who meet the residency, activity and compliance criteria.
- (d) Canada reserves the right to allocate any TRQ or portion of a TRQ through auctioning for no more than the first seven quota years after entry into force of the Agreement for Canada.
- (e) Canada reserves the right to allocate a portion of each TRQ, not to exceed 10 per cent of the annual aggregate quantity, in priority for the importation of goods that are in scarce supply in the Canadian market. Scarce supply means a good which is deemed not available in Canada in sufficient supply to satisfy Canadian demand.
4. Canada’s TRQs shall apply to originating goods .
5. For the purposes of this Appendix, the term “metric tonnes” shall be abbreviated as “MT”.
