September 2026 quota tranche

The first quota tranche allowed up to 100,000 metric tons during September 2026. A Texas A&M analysis of CBP entries found 37,486 metric tons entered by September 28, or about 37.5% of the tranche. It estimated that roughly 8,054 to 21,936 metric tons might represent imports beyond what would otherwise have arrived, depending on the comparison used. Those are analytical estimates, not a final official calculation of additional supply.
