Details

The Tariff Quotas document publishes the product specific tariff-rate quotas, including the individual product volumes and rates.

The purpose of the Statutory Instrument is to establish tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) for certain goods imported into the UK and to establish a regime for managing most of these TRQs using a first-come first-served allocation system. This regulation gives effect to the quotas listed in this document.

The authorised use document lists the uses to which goods declared to an authorised use procedure can be subject to.

The statutory instruments that have given legal effect to these reference documents, and their previous versions, can be found at:
