The U.S. is putting together a second dispute settlement panel under the United States – Mexico – Canada Agreement. The panel will challenge Canada’s tariff-rate quotas and failure to follow the USMCA. These quotas allow Canada to impose higher tariffs on imports over a certain quantity. The  U.S. argues it unfairly blocks key export opportunities for farmers and processors. Even though the U.S. won a previous dispute over this problem, the Canadian government has not fixed the problem. U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin says dairy farmers and cheesemakers rely on fair trade practices to grow their businesses and remain competitive on an international stage.

"I applaud Ambassador Tai for standing up to enforce the USMCA," she says. "I look forward to resolving this dispute with Canada as soon as possible to restore stability and fairness in the marketplace for Wisconsin’s dairy producers.”
