Article 4 Import licence applications and allocation of import licences
United Kingdom
The release into free circulation of the quantities awarded under the import tariff quotas referred to in Article 1(1) shall be subject to the presentation of an import licence.
Import licence applications shall cover the total quantity of import rights allocated. The obligation referred to in Article 23(1) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 907/2014 shall be respected.

A security of EUR 50 per 100 kilograms shall be lodged by the operator at the time of submission of the import licence application. Each issue of an import licence shall result in a corresponding reduction of the import rights obtained and the security lodged for import rights shall be released proportionally without delay.
Import licences shall be issued upon application by and in the name of the operator who has obtained the import rights.
Import licence applications shall refer to only one order number. They may concern several products covered by different CN codes. In that case, all the CN codes and their descriptions shall be entered in boxes 15 and 16 of the licence application and the licence respectively.
Import licence applications and import licences shall contain:
in box 8, the name ‘Ukraine’ as country of origin and box ‘yes’ marked by a cross;

Each import licence shall mention the quantity for each CN code.
