A 47% over-entry for the 481-window

As expected, (and as has been the case in all recent quarters), the April–June quota window for the 481 grainfed cattle in the EU was exceeded. A European importer told WBR the 3,100-ton duty-free allocation was exceeded by 47%, equating to some 1,500 additional tons that will now require a pro rata distribution of the full levy across the entire volume shipped.
