The data shall include a minimum of:

• One thousand (1,000) chemical products • Seven hundred fifty (750) agricultural commodities, representing, in aggregate, not less than 99% by value of U.S. exports of agricultural food products • One hundred fifty (150) destination markets, representing, in aggregate, not less than 95% bey value of U.S. exports of agricultural food products The above encompasses crop and veterinary maximum residue levels. Where applicable, deferral pathways, i.e. circumstances in which a country ‘defers’ to another MRL source, which may be contextually contingent, shall be described. See Statement of Work for complete requirements.
