In a proclamation issued June 1, the president said the quota would apply to those countries with the largest exports of wheat gluten to the United States, principally the European Union.
Wheat gluten is a protein-rich ingredient used in baking.
Such action shall take the form of quantitative limitations on imports of wheat gluten, provided for in HTS subheadings 1109.00.10 and 1109.00.90, imposed for a period of 3 years plus one day, with annual increases in such quota limits of six percent in the second year and in the third year.
