Dara Calleary, Minister of State for Trade Promotion and Digital Transformation, has today announced a new round of the tariff suspension/quota schemes and is calling for applications from manufacturers in the industrial, agricultural, and related sectors.
The tariff suspension scheme offers the possibility for such companies to import raw materials, components or intermediate products from outside the European Union free from tariff duty, if the item cannot be sourced in the EU/Turkey.
The tariff quota scheme is designed to address shortages in the availability of essential materials within the EU and can be applied for in the same way as suspensions.
Welcoming the new call, Minister Calleary said:
"These schemes represent an opportunity for Irish manufacturers to reduce the costs of sourcing materials that are not available in the EU. I would encourage Irish companies to avail of the tariff suspensions and quota schemes."
Deadline for applications is 5.30pm on Tuesday 31 January 2023. Applications should be sent by email to tariffschemes@enterprise.gov.ie and posted to the department at the address below. Please note that late or incomplete applications will not be accepted by the department.
The suspension of duties on these applications, if they are successful, will come into effect from 1 January 2024.
The tariff suspension/quota scheme offers the possibility for companies to import raw materials, components or intermediate products from outside the European Union free from tariff duty.
