Russia Announces Tariff Rate Meat Quotas And Duties For The Next Four Years

Russia has announced tariff rate meat quotas (TRQs) and duties for the next four years, setting terms and access for the United States and other countries from 2006 through 2009. All import licenses will be distributed to historical importers – auctions have been cancelled.

The United States has a frozen beef TRQ of 17,900 metric tons (mt), and a pork TRQ of 54,800 mt for 2006.

The duty on chilled and frozen beef is 15 percent within the quota and 55 percent out of the quota. The duty on fresh, chilled and frozen pork is 15 percent within the quota and 60 percent out of the quota. The out of quota percentages for beef and pork both decrease each year to 40 percent in 2009.

High-quality beef (priced at more than 3,000 Euro per mt) is not included in the beef TRQ, and the lowest import duty is applied to that product. Beef and pork variety meat as well as pork fat are not included in quotas.
