The US waives beef tariffs for Brazil and Paraguay, but not for Argentina and Uruguay
US President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on August 26 temporarily waiving tariffs on imports of up to 300,000 tonnes of lean beef trimmings, a measure that excludes countries already holding their own quotas in the US market, among them Argentina and Uruguay. The main beneficiaries will be Brazil and Paraguay.
The US has temporarily waived tariffs on imports of up to 300,000 tonnes of lean beef trimmings, excluding Argentina and Uruguay, who already have their own quotas in the US market. The measure, signed by President Donald Trump, aims to provide relief for American consumers and benefits Brazil and Paraguay, who will receive 100,000 tonnes per month on a first-come, first-served basis.
The exclusion is based on a technicality, as the tariff-rate quota is allocated to a statistical category that does not include exporters holding country-specific quotas.
