1. See Annex attached for an HS concordance table between 1997 and 1998 tariff item numbers.
2. The count of in-quota imports for butter, cream and dry whey is based on permits issued by the Export and Import Controls Bur eau (EICB). The count of in-quota imports for
wheat, barley and their products is based on data from Revenue Canada. These figures may not equal the quantities reported by S tatistics Canada, International Trade Division, since the
in-quota imports are tabulated according to the unit for the tariff quota (e.g., grain equivalent basis), and not on a product weight basis.G/AG/N/CAN/31

* These changes do not affect the product coverage of the TRQs. All changes only modify the tariff
number used for the products except for 1902.19.11 where the tariff line has been subdivided into two
tariff lines with 1902.19.11 and 1902.19.21 in 1998 having the same product coverage as 1902.19.11
in 1997. Those changes are the result of the 1998 Canadian Tariff Simplification. Canada has
provided this table to facilitate year to year monitoring of the application of these tariff rate quotas.
