🚨 Notice to importers - Tariff suspensions and quotas 🚨
📢 Reduced or zero-duty imports
To ensure an adequate supply of certain agricultural and industrial products that are not available in the European Union, Regulations (EU) 2024/3211 and 2024/3213 suspend customs duties on these products.
💡 What are the advantages?
These products can be imported into the EU at reduced or zero duty rates.
📆 Duration and monitoring of tariff suspensions
- A suspension is valid for 5 years, renewable unless opposed by a European producer.
- The European Commission monitors their use: only those generating at least €15,000 in savings per year are automatically renewed.
