Global Affairs Canada has opened the application period for the 2025 calendar year tariff rate quotas (TRQs) for dairy, poultry and eggs, starting October 1, 2024, and with a deadline of November 15, 2024.

Subsequent to Message to industry – Opening of the application period for the 2024-2025 dairy year TRQs and new notices to importers for the CPTPP dairy TRQs, Canada has amended its allocation policies for all CPTPP dairy TRQs, including their respective application forms.
