	PART I - MOST-FAVOURED-NATION TARIFF
	SECTION  I - B  Tariff Quotas
Notes:

1.  Product coverage
1.1  When HS 4-digit items are not detailed, in-quota rates, out-of-quota rates, initial quota volumes, annual growth rates, administration methods and notes on 
additional conditions shall apply to all sub-items at HS 8-digit level within the corresponding HS 4-digit items.
1.2  When HS 4-digit items are detailed into HS 8-digit sub-items:
1.2.1  In-quota rates and out-of-quota rates shall apply to HS 8-digit sub-items as presented in the corresponding lines and columns.
1.2.2 Initial quota volumes, annual growth rates, TRQ administration methods and notes on additional conditions shall apply only to those HS 8-digit sub-items as 
described in the table. 

2.  Implementation Period 
The implementation period referred herein reflects the time span needed for :   
- the increase, if any, of the initial quota quantity to the final quota quantity, and 
- the reduction, if any, of the initial in-quota tariff rate to the final in-quota tariff rate.

3.  Initial quota volumes
Initial quota volumes are calculated on the basis of WTO’s “current market access” method, except for HS 1701 which is calculated on the basis of “minimum 
market access” method since there was no import in the base period. 

4.  Administration methods 
Allocation of quota shall only be based on first-come, first-served basis; pooling of requests of the applicants; allocating to end-users; or a similar transparent and
 fair method.  Other relevant commercial criteria such as historical import performance, production capacity, and allowance for new importers may be 
considered in the allocation of quotas.  In case the quota allocation is administered through State trading enterprises, the same principles of allocation shall also 
be applied.
4.1 Method A: quotas are allocated to end-users.
4.1 Method B: importers are to be designated by the Government.*
*This tariff rate quota administration method, despite its administration by the Government, shall not be inconsistent with the principles set out above and shall, in 
particular, be consistent with the principles of predictability and transparency of WTO rules.
