Beef safeguard: country-specific quota and +55% above quota

In force

Applied by: China
Affects: Brasil
Additional rate: +55%
In-quota rate: 12%
Quota: 1,106,000 t/ano (2026)exhausted
In force: 01/01/2026 until 12/31/2028

Scope

Imported beef. Quotas are country-specific; Brazil holds the largest individual quota. The global 2026 quota is 2.7 million tonnes.

Legal basis

MOFCOM Announcement No. 87/2025, dated 2025-12-31 — final determination of the safeguard investigation opened in December 2024. Additional duty set by the State Council Tariff Commission.

This is not a tariff increase: within the quota, Brazilian beef keeps paying the usual 12%. The 55% surcharge applies only to volumes above the quota, from the third day after it is reached — bringing the effective rate to roughly 67%. Brazil's 2026 quota was exhausted in early July because shipments were front-loaded in the first half of the year. The measure runs for three years, with gradual volume expansion and progressive tariff reduction.

How to use this page

This tracker consolidates the measure — it does not replace reading the act. Exclusion lists are defined by tariff code (HTSUS in the United States, NCM in Brazil) and change by decree, sometimes between the announcement and the effective date. Before costing or pricing anything, match your exact code against the official annex linked in each measure. Every entry here goes through human review before publication.
