Imports of milk protein substances (MPS) with a milk protein content of 85% or more by weight, calculated on the dry matter, that do not originate in a NAFTA country, Chile, Costa Rica or Israel into Canada are subject to import controls under Canada’s EIPA. Accordingly, an import permit is required for shipments of MPS to enter Canada. Import permits for shipments of MPS destined to the Canadian market are issued to allocation holders under Canada’s tariff rate quota (TRQ) for MPS, which is administered by Global Affairs Canada.
The access quantity for the MPS TRQ is 10,000,000 kg. The allocation period for the MPS TRQ extends from April 1 to March 31, inclusive.
The Notice is to set out the policies and practices pertaining to the administration of Canada’s TRQ for MPS; to invite applications for allocations under the TRQ for the next quota year; and to explain how to apply for import permits for imports of MPS.
Applicants who wish to apply for an allocation under the MPS TRQ are invited to submit their application form no later than the 15th of February 2017.
