For cases not marked, the quantity indicated is based on authorizations to import. ** In Combined nomenclature CN2014 (1) The quota quantity is reduced by imports of maize gluten feed, brewers' grains and citrus pulp as stipulated in the commitments. (2) This quota for imports into Portugal was managed for the first time on a calendar year basis in 2008. For the previous years it was notified with the quotas managed on a marketing year basis. (3) The figure shown represents the imports under the two tariff quotas together for the calendar year 2014 (quotas are managed together since manufacturing requirements have been lifted on an autonomous basis).
