The access quantity for the chicken and chicken products TRQ is 39,900,000 kilograms or 7.5% of the previous year’s domestic production as reported by Statistics Canada, whichever is greater. The allocation period for the chicken and chicken products TRQ extends from January 1 to December 31, inclusive. This Notice to Importers sets out the policies and practices pertaining to the administration of the TRQ, including the allocation, underutilization, return and transfer policies. This Notice also explains how to apply for import permits.
