Indonesian live male cattle quota

The Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA) entered into force on 5 July 2020. The agreement put in place reduced tariffs for exports of live male cattle.

We manage this quota on a first-come, first-served basis.

As entry into force occurred part way through the 2020 quota year, the tariff rate quota amount will be pro-rata. The agreed pro-rata amount is 281,215 head.

Key dates

The quota year runs in line with the calendar year.

• 1 January—New quota year commences
• 31 December—Quota year ends

Current quota usage

The quota usage tables show the total quantity of quota shipped by Australia for IA-CEPA products. The tables are updated regularly.
