The Government have announced tariff suspensions on products successfully submitted for temporary tariff suspension quotas during the 2024 application window. 

A published list of goods ranges from spices to gardening supplies.   


The government regularly publishes a tariff quota application window, during which any UK business may apply for a temporary duty suspension to be applied to their products.  Successful products then have a temporary tariff suspension added to the UK Trade Tariff against the product classification. 


An announcement for an available open tariff quota application window is published on the Duty Suspensions and Autonomous Tariff guidance pages, with a corresponding Notice to Importers to advertise that the tariff window is open. 


A link to the list of tariff suspension quotas from the 2024 application window can be found below.
