On April 29, 2025, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) published a notice announcing the 2025/2026 rates it will charge for voluntary grading, inspection, certification, auditing, and laboratory services for a variety of agricultural commodities including meat and poultry, fruits and vegetables, eggs, dairy products, rice, and cotton and tobacco. This document corrects typographical errors in the fee table for 2025/2026 Export Food Aid Commodities, which was published as part of a larger table describing all 2025/2026 United States Warehouse Act Fees.
