China: China Announces TRQ Following Beef Safeguard Investigation
As a result of China’s beef safeguard investigation, China has announced a tariff rate quota (TRQ) on all imports of fresh, frozen, and chilled beef products. Effective January 1, 2026, a total TRQ of 2,688,000 metric tons will be allocated among exporting countries based on average market shares from July 2021 to June 2024. The United States’ quota is set at 164,000 metric tons for 2026. The in-quota tariff will be the most-favored-nation (MFN) rate plus any country-specific tariff, while the out-of-quota tariff will be 55 percent plus the in-quota tariff.
