Canada's tariff quota commitments .  The count of in-quota imports for wheat, barl ey and their products is based on data from th e Canada Border Services Agency (formerly Canada 
Customs and Revenue Agency).  These figures  may not equal the quantities reported by St atistics Canada, International Trade Div ision.  In-quota imports are tabulated according to the 
unit for the tariff quota (e.g., grain equivalent  basis), and not on a product weight basis.
