Notes:
(1) BRAQ001: Brazil informs the Committee
on Agriculture that the tariff rate quota, from August to December, for apples
and pears was not implemented, given that the applied tariffs (9%) were below
the in-quota rate (13.5%) for both products. Imports during 2022 (metric
tonnes): Apples: 129,986; Pears: 133,019. Brazil also clarifies that the
original TRQ commitment of 10,000 tonnes is applied for both tariff item
numbers (08081000,08082001).
(2) BRAQ002: Quotas are erga omnes
with zero tariff. Details are established by Ordinance n°38, 19 June 2020,
GECEX Determination n°135, 24 December 2020, from Ministry of
Economy. Total imports (SH 100111; 100119; 100191; 100199) during 2022:
5,716,479 metric tonnes. Brazil also clarifies that the original TRQ
commitment of 750,000 tonnes is shared by tariff item numbers
(100119,100199). Brazilian tariff stablishes duty free for wheat seeds.
