US advances USMCA dispute panel to enforce Canada's dairy commitments Wisconsin State Farmer Ambassador Katherine Tai announced this week that the United States has requested and established a dispute settlement panel under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to review measures adopted by the Government of Canada that undermine the ability of American dairy exporters to sell a wide range of products to Canadian consumers. According to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), the U.S. is challenging Canada’s allocation of dairy tariff-rate quotas (TRQs), specifically the set-aside of a percentage of each dairy TRQ exclusively for Canadian processors. These measures deny the ability of U.S. dairy farmers, workers, and exporters to utilize the TRQs and realize the full benefit of the USMCA.
