Trade and Quotas
Agricultural products provide an important positive contribution to the EU trade balance. Under the Customs Union, Member States report on all goods imported into, and exported from, the European Union. Some products are subject to quotas, which means that reduced tariff rates apply up to a fixed amount of goods imported. Depending on the product quota may be allocated proportionally, or on a first-come-first-served basis. More information on Tariff rate quotas can be found here.
BREXIT TRQs APPORTIONMENT AS FROM 1 JANUARY 2021
The Commission has published a table covering the apportionment of tariff rate
quotas for certain agricultural products included in the WTO schedule of the
Union, following the end of the transition period concerning the United Kingdom’s relationship with the Union.
The table concerns the apportionment of TRQs whose quota period is ongoing on 1 January 2021 in accordance
with Article 1(3) of Regulation (EU) 2019/386 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2020/2099 of 15 December 2020.
The table published follows the methodology laid down in Article 1 of Regulation (EU) 2019/216 of the European
Parliament and of the Council[1] providing that the said tariff rate quotas included in the Union's schedule of
concessions and commitments annexed to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 are to be apportioned between
the Union and the United Kingdom based on the EU-27 share in the quota usage set out in the Annex to that Regulation.

Weekly Taxud Report
Weekly import statistics of agricultural products based on the "Surveillance" System of the Taxation and Customs Union DG.
The United Kingdom is no longer a Member State of the European Union,
however until the end of the transition period it was still part of the EU Customs Union. Taxud EU trade data therefore also included the UK
as long as it was part of the Customs Union. Such data is labelled as EU+UK.

Fruit and vegetables - Standard Import Values (SIVs)
The Entry Price System (EPS) is a special procedure designed for imports of certain fruit and vegetables. Two of its main objectives are the following:
1) Facilitate trade when the products entering the EU have a price that is still unknown such as in the case of products to be sold at a later date;
2) Discourage imports with extremely low prices in order to protect EU producers incomes. In this context, the Standard Import Values (SIVs), calculated daily on working days,
represents an estimate for the customs value of the goods and are the central daily management element of the EPS.
