What is Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ)?

Tariff Rate Quota allows a lower tariff rate on imports of a given product within a specified quantity and requires a higher tariff rate on imports exceeding that quantity. 

For example, a country might allow the import of 6,000 cranes at a tariff rate of 20%. However, a tariff rate of 40% would apply for any crane imported above this quantity.

TRQs are used in several industries, including:  textiles, steel, and agriculture.
