In Brief 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, an EU country or other CETA beneficiary, 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.
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.
