2026 Tariff-rate Quota Guidance for Agricultural Products Eligible Under the Peru Trade Promotion Agreement
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued Quota Bulletin 26-106-2026 outlining how tariff-rate quotas will be administered during the 2026 calendar year for certain agricultural products imported from Peru under the Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (TPA). Importers should review quota requirements and entry timing carefully, as access to in-quota rates is subject to availability and specific filing rules.

Quota Timeframe
January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026.
Quota Opening Date
Friday, January 2, 2026.
Quota Levels and Eligible Tariff Classifications
Quota quantities and eligible HTSUS tariff lines are established by CBP and published in the official quota bulletin. Importers should confirm applicable classifications prior to filing entries.
Entry Filing Guidance
- Entries filed after 12:01 a.m. local port time and before 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the opening date will be assigned an 8:30 a.m. timestamp for quota allocation purposes.
- If total entry volume exceeds available quota at the opening time, CBP may allocate quantities on a prorated basis.
Compliance Considerations
Importers are responsible for ensuring accurate HTSUS classification and proper quota reporting to obtain in-quota duty treatment. Incorrect filings may result in over-quota duties or the assessment of additional trade remedies where applicable.
For complete quota details and official guidance, importers should review the full CBP quota bulletin.
