A European importer told WBR that the quarterly 2,500-ton grainfed cattle allocation under the 481 quota was exceeded by 46%, reaching 3,650 tons. As is customary, the full volume will be apportioned among all importers, who will each pay a share of the full levy.
In this case, that will result in an additional charge of approximately €2.10/kg (US$ 2,394 per ton).
