USDA Adjusts Dairy Licensing Appendices for 2024 TRQ Year

USDA is revising the appendices to its Dairy Tariff-Rate Quota Import Licensing Regulation for the 2024 tariff-rate quota year, it said in a notice. The agency is transferring the amounts for certain dairy articles from the historical license category (Appendix 1) to the lottery (nonhistorical) license category (Appendix 2) pursuant to the Dairy Tariff-Rate Quota Import Licensing regulations for the 2024 quota year.

The dairy TRQ licensing regulation provides for the issuance of licenses to import certain dairy articles under TRQs as set forth in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. These dairy articles may only be entered into the U.S. at the low-tier tariff by a licensed person or firm. Licenses are issued for each calendar year, and each license authorizes the license holder to import a specified quantity and type of dairy article from a specified country of origin.
