Global Affairs Canada: wheat products TRQ to be filled October 13, 2017, ending GIP No. 20 use
Global Affairs Canada states in Notice to Importers Serial No. 902 that the wheat products tariff rate quota will be filled on October 13, 2017, and that 11:59 p.m. local time that day is the cut-off for accounting for imports of wheat products classified under a "within access commitment" tariff item. The notice covers Items 162 to 181 of the Import Control List, namely wheat products under heading numbers 11.01, 11.03, 11.04, 11.08, 11.09, 19.01, 19.02, 19.04, 19.05 and 23.02 of the Customs Tariff.
Why it matters: As of 11:59 p.m. local time on October 13, 2017, importers of the covered wheat products may no longer invoke GIP No. 20, and goods entered under GIP No. 100 must state "Imported Under the Authority of General Import Permit No. 100 - Eligible Agricultural Goods" on the prescribed form.
