The U.S. opened the final 100,000-metric-ton phase of a 300,000-ton temporary expansion of its beef import quota, covering lean processing beef trimmings at lower in-quota duties. Customs entries open November 2, and the window can close early if the allotment runs out.
Extra low-duty lean trim imports could ease ground-beef input costs and add supply, which is bearish for cattle prices, though the volume and timing of arrivals remain uncertain.
