Tridge summary

Seventeen countries, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, and others, are allowed to export fresh and frozen beef to the US with zero tariffs within a specific quota. Four of these countries have independent tariff quotas, while the rest share a common quota under the 'Other countries' tariff quota, which is already filled for 2024. Exports exceeding the quota will face a 26.4% tariff, making it challenging for countries like France, Ireland, and the Netherlands to compete with countries like Australia that are exempt from the tariff.
