11.—(1) Deductions from the quota volume under regulation 10 in respect of the importation of preferential quota goods or origin quota goods into the United Kingdom must not be allocated to any requests to benefit any earlier than the first working day after the date of acceptance by HMRC of the Customs declaration for free circulation or authorised use for those goods.

(2) Allocation of the quota volume by HMRC must take account of all requests to benefit from the preferential quota or, as the case may be, origin quota which were accepted by HMRC together with Customs declarations for free circulation or authorised use up to and including the last working day prior to the day of allocation of the relevant quota.

(3) Where, on any day, the total quantity of any preferential quota goods or, as the case may be, origin quota goods in respect of which requests to benefit from a relevant quota have been accepted by HMRC, together with the Customs declaration for free circulation or authorised use, exceeds the quota volume or remaining quota volume for those goods, the quota volume, or remaining quota volume, for those goods must be allocated on a pro rata basis calculated by reference to the requests for quantities of goods to be treated as preferential quota goods or, as the case may be, origin quota goods and declared for free circulation or authorised use.

(4) Where a quantity of goods has been allocated to a preferential quota or, as the case may be, origin quota on the basis of incorrect information or an error by the person who made the declaration or HMRC, then the remaining quota volume must be adjusted accordingly to take account of the incorrect information or error.

(5) This regulation does not apply to preferential quota goods referred to in regulation 4(2).
