The North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (NAFTA Act) requires the Secretary of Agriculture to establish end-use requirements for wheat and barley imported from any foreign country or instrumentality that requires end-use certificates for imports of U.S. produced commodities. Canada is the only nation that requires such certificates, and U.S. wheat is the only commodity subjected to the Canadian restrictions. As a result, the Farm Service Agency has implemented an End-Use Certificate Program that requires the "identity preserved" storage of Canadian-produced wheat that enters the United States.
The table below shows the amount of Canadian wheat that entered the United States based on the information provided by the importers filing their End-Use Certificates. The marketing year (MY) for the wheat runs from June 1 through May 31.
