1. The count of in-quota imports is based on permits issued by the Export and Import Controls Bureau (EICB).  These figures may not equal the quantities reported by Statistics
Canada, International Trade Division, since the EICB data are tabulated according to the unit for the tariff quota (e.g., eviscerated equivalent basis), and not on a product weight
basis.
2. Imports of fluid milk by consumers are not counted.  Canada considers that access for fluid milk is restricted subject to the  terms and conditions of General Import Permit #1.
Any resident of Canada may import up to $20 worth of dairy products, including fluid milk and cream, for personal use under Gen eral Import Permit #1.  The General Import
Permit may be invoked an unlimited number of times.
