In Brief
Imports of ice cream and ice cream novelties into Canada are subject to import controls under Canada’s EIPA. Accordingly, an import permit is required for shipments of ice cream and ice cream novelties to enter Canada. Import permits for shipments of ice cream and ice cream novelties destined to the Canadian market are issued to allocation holders under Canada’s tariff rate quota (TRQ) for ice cream and ice cream novelties, which is administered by Global Affairs Canada.
The access quantity for the ice cream and ice cream novelties TRQ is 484,000 kg. The allocation period for the ice cream and ice cream novelties TRQ extends from January 1 to December 31, inclusive.
This Notice to Importers sets out the policies and practices pertaining to the administration of the TRQ, including the allocation, under-utilization, return, reallocation, and transfer policies. This Notice also explains how to apply for import permits.
