{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Tariff quota","description":"A tariff quota is a trade policy instrument that allows a defined volume of goods to be imported at a reduced or zero duty rate; once that threshold is exceeded, the standard – typically far higher – duty rate applies automatically. Tariff quotas are commonly established through free trade agreements or bilateral trade treaties and frequently cover agricultural commodities, textiles, and selected industrial goods. Securing quota allocation translates directly into lower landed costs.
