China will implement a three-year safeguard measure on beef imports starting from January 1, 2026.

The Ministry of Commerce ruled that the increase in the volume of imported beef has harmed the domestic industry.

The total quota is 2.7 million tons, with country-specific quotas of 1.106 million tons for Brazil, 511,000 tons for Argentina, 205,000 tons for Australia, and 164,000 tons for the United States.

A 55% tariff will be imposed on the portion exceeding the quota.

2 The three major global beef exporters (the United States, Brazil, and Australia) have simultaneously entered a \”retaining breeding stock and expanding cattle herds\” cycle, and future supply is expected to tighten, with costs potentially being passed on to the consumer end.
