Dairy Tariff-Rate Quota Import Licensing Program

What it does

This proposed rule would amend the regulation that provides for the issuance of annual licenses to import certain dairy articles under tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) as set forth in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. FAS proposes changes to make the regulation more user friendly through updated language and clarification of some provisions. Among other changes, the proposed rule would replace the section on license transfers, strengthen the suspension and revocation provisions, and move forward the surrender date to permit earlier reallocation of surrendered quantities.
