For independent U.S. cattle and sheep producers, the agreement represents a continuation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

“Both NAFTA and the USMCA allow tariff-free trade in cattle, sheep, beef, lamb and mutton between the United States, Mexico and Canada. These policies have made imported livestock and beef more accessible and economically attractive to meatpackers, reducing incentives for U.S. farmers and ranchers to rebuild and expand the domestic cattle and sheep supply chains.

“In addition, the USMCA retained NAFTA’s rules of origin for beef, lamb and mutton, which designate the country in which the animal is slaughtered as the product’s country of origin. Combined with the absence of mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef, these rules allow imported beef to be sold alongside domestic beef without distinction, limiting price transparency for consumers and reducing incentives to pass along savings from lower-cost imports.
