Allocation policy

To be eligible, you must be active in the Canadian concentrated milk industry at the time of application, and must remain active regularly during the quota year.

Note: You must, in addition, have been active regularly in the concentrated milk industry during the reference period.

Individual applicants and related persons applicants are eligible for only one allocation.

Note: All applicants must provide a list of related persons.
Note: In the case of separate applications from related persons involving a parent company and one or more subsidiaries, only the application nominated by the parent company is considered.

You must specify in your application the minimum quantity of quota you will accept. If your calculated allocation is less than 20,000 kg, you are issued an allocation only if the quantity you have specified in your application is equal to or lower than your calculated allocation.
You must specify in your application a quantity requested. If your calculated allocation is more than the quantity requested in your application, you are issued an allocation up to the amount you specified.
The TRQ is allocated for the importation of goods destined for retail sale.

Eligibility criteria

You are eligible for an allocation if you are a:

Processor:

that manufactures concentrated milk in your own provincially-licensed or federally-registered facility.

Distributor:

that buys concentrated milk and re-sells it to other businesses.

Note: Companies that procure or sell concentrated milk on behalf of others without taking ownership of or financial responsibility for the product are not eligible to apply for an allocation.
Note: Retailers are not eligible for an allocation. A retailer is an establishment that is primarily engaged in retailing food, and which buys concentrated milk and sells it directly to final consumers.

Calculation of allocations

The Minister will allocate the TRQ to processors and distributors on a market share basis, considering the quantities requested by each eligible applicant, as follows:

Processors:

based on the importation of goods destined for retail sale based on the kilograms of concentrated milk manufactured by the processor in the reference period.

Distributors:

based on the kilograms of concentrated milk sold by the distributor during the reference period.
- Note: You must exclude the following products from your application:
  - products sold to other distributors;
  - products sold to related persons; and
  - products sold at the retail level to consumers.

Should 100% of the TRQ not be allocated during the initial allocation process (i.e. no eligible applicants or the quantity requested by all eligible applicants is less than the total quantity of TRQ), all remaining quantities will be made available for allocation on the department’s website. The eligibility criteria for the allocation of any available quantities continues to apply, with volumes being allocated on an on-demand basis.

Transfer, return and under-utilization of allocations

If you wish to transfer any portion of your allocation, you must submit a transfer request form.
You may return any portion of your allocation to the department in writing by the prescribed return date.

Note: Returned quantities will normally be made available seven days after the return date to eligible allocation holders, who have not returned any portion of their allocation, on a market share basis, if the quantity requested exceeds the quantities available. If the quantity requested is less than the quantities available, the reallocation will be done on an on-demand basis.

If you use less than 95% of your allocation in one year, you may have your allocation adjusted downward by an under-utilization penalty in the following year.

Note: Any portion of your allocation that you transfer or return in accordance with the present policy is considered to have been used.
