Background
When the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA) commences on 5 July 2020 the included TRQs will become available.
The IA-CEPA feed grain TRQ allows access for specified volumes of eligible products to be exported to Indonesia at reduced tariff rates when accompanied by a TRQ certificate. A total of 244,535 tonnes of feed grain is available for the 2020 quota year. The TRQ is administered by the department under a sales contract-based reservation system.
