Any poultry imported outside of the quota is assessed a duty rate of 80 percent of the customs value, but not less than 0.7 euro per kilogram. Beef and poultry meat are still under TRQ regimes, whereas pork quotas were cancelled in 2016. In 2019, the TRQ for beef was filled at two percent and poultry at 93 percent.
