On Tuesday, April 18, 2023, from 12 noon–1pm (ET), Penn State Law’s Center for Agricultural and Shale Law will be conducting the latest installment in its Quarterly Dairy Legal Webinar series.
In addition to a round-up of quarterly legal developments, the focus topic will be the International Dairy Trade: Canada–U.S. USMCA Arbitration Round 2. Almost immediately upon entering the USMCA trade pact with Canada and Mexico in 2020, the U.S. trade relationship with Canada hit a rough patch over potential dairy exports to Canada, specifically the eligibility criteria for Canadian importers’ potential use of a quota of favorable dairy tariff rates on U.S. dairy products. The U.S. took Canada to arbitration in 2021 and won. Nevertheless, Canada held steadfast to its dairy tariff rate quota system and made minimal changes. As a result, we are now headed to a second round of USMCA arbitration between the U.S. and Canada over the same, and some newly added, tariff rate eligibility issues. All will be explained as we examine the details of this dispute between international neighbors.
1 hour of substantive CLE credit is available for Pennsylvania licensed attorneys at no charge.
