What is Allied's position?
This bulletin sets the quota mechanics for condiments and mixed seasonings entries filed on the October 1, 2026 opening date. We apply these timing and proration rules to any qualifying entries we file for clients importing this commodity. Clients do not need to take any action, but importers with shipments subject to this quota should ask us to confirm entry timing if arrival falls near the opening date.
