10.—(1) Deductions from the quota volume must be allocated against the quantity of the imported goods subject to the relevant quota in the order in which HMRC accepted the request to benefit from the quota for those goods together with the Customs declaration for free circulation or authorised use.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), the order of acceptance by HMRC of a request to benefit from a quota is to be determined by reference to the date of acceptance by HMRC of the Customs declaration for free circulation or authorised use of the relevant goods into the United Kingdom.
(3) Where the Customs declaration for a request referred to in paragraph (1) is accepted by HMRC on 1st, 2nd or 3rd January of any year, the declaration is deemed to have been accepted on 3rd January of the same year or, if 3rd January is not a working day, on the next working day following 3rd January.
(4) Subject to paragraph (7), the quantity to be deducted from the quota volume for preferential quota goods or origin quota goods is the quantity of any such goods for which HMRC has accepted the request to benefit from the relevant quota.
(5) When the quantity of preferential quota goods or, as the case may be, origin quota goods deducted from the relevant quota volume for those goods in any quota period is equal to the quota volume for that period in column 5 of the Preferential Quota Table, the quota is exhausted.
(6) Where the acceptance by HMRC of a request referred to in paragraph (1) occurs on the same day as the acceptance by HMRC of the associated Customs declaration for release of the goods for free circulation or authorised use into the United Kingdom, acceptance of the request and of the Customs declaration is to be treated as having occurred simultaneously.
(7) On a day when the total quantity of preferential quota goods or, as the case may be, origin quota goods for which requests under paragraph (1) are accepted by HMRC exceeds the remaining quota volume for any such goods, deductions must be apportioned between all such requests on a pro rata basis calculated by reference to the quantity of any such goods requested in each case.
(8) For the purposes of this regulation, where a quota (a “linked quota”) is linked to one or more other quotas, as indicated in the Preferential Quota Table, a deduction from the linked quota in respect of a quantity of imported quota goods is to also operate as a deduction in respect of the same amount of goods from each of the other quotas.
(9) This regulation does not apply to preferential quota goods referred to in regulation 4(2).
