* CBP correction
1The textile and apparel TPLs listed in this report are those that were the most "active" in their prior control period, i.e., they were more than 40% filled at the end of their period. Coverage will expand to other TPLs if their activity is significant in the current control period. Data on the other commodities mirrors CBP's Threshold to Fill List.
2Quantities can be charged to "All other countries" limit while balance is available.
(This report replaces BP's weekly comprehensive TPL/TRQ status report, which was limited to textiles and apparel. In this new report, estimated close dates are only provided for the listed ("active") textile and apparel TRQs and TPLs.)
