Poultry Export Quota, Inc.
Central America Poultry Export Quota, Inc. (CA-PEQ) was formed in 2005 by the poultry industries of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and the United States. CA-PEQ was formed to assist the governments of signatories to the Central American-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) to administer provisions establishing a tariff-rate quota on chicken leg quarters imported by El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua from the United States.
CA-PEQ is a Delaware not-for-profit corporation that has received an Export Trade Certificate of Review from the U.S. Department of Commerce to conduct open-tender auctions for the right to import chicken leg quarters in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua at zero-duty in the amount of the tariff-rate quota established by CAFTA-DR.
