EU eliminates tariffs on US lobster exports
Friday, August 21, 2020
The US lobster industry received news today that the EU will eliminate tariffs on US lobster exports, retroactive to August 1, 2020.
“The elimination of the EU tariff on US lobster products is a significant achievement for our industry. The EU was historically an essential market for Maine lobster but we have been facing challenges in that market since 2017 due to preferential treatment of Canadian lobsters. This move levels the playing field for Maine lobster companies and will benefit the entire industry,” said Maine Lobster Dealers’ Association executive director, Annie Tselikis.
