These Regulations are made under the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 (“the Act”) as a consequence of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union. They make amendments to the Customs (Tariff Quotas) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/1432). They correct errors in the Customs (Tariff-free Access for Goods from British Overseas Territories) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/1434). They amend the Customs Tariff (Preferential Trade Arrangements) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/1457). They also amend the Customs (Preferential Trade Arrangements and Tariff Quotas) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 (S.I. 2021/382). 

Regulation 2 amends the table in Part B of Schedule 2 to S.I. 2020/1432, which identifies preferential quotas that are administered by licence. The requirement for proof of trade in respect of Tunisian olive oil is removed; and two new quotas are added in respect of the Partnership, Trade and Cooperation Agreement between Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the government of the Republic of Serbia. 

Regulation 3 corrects a small typographical error in regulation 2 of S.I. 2020/1434 and substitutes an erroneous modification contained in regulation 9(2) of those Regulations in respect of the Crown Dependencies. 

Regulation 4 makes further amendments to the table in Schedule 1 to S.I. 2020/1457 which sets out the list of arrangements between Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom and the governments of the other countries or territories to which the provisions of those Regulations apply. The table in Schedule 1 to S.I. 2020/1457 was substituted by regulation 5 of, and Schedule 1 to, the Customs Tariff (Preferential Trade Arrangements and Tariff Quotas) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/1657) which came into force on IP completion day and which was amended by the Customs Tariff (Preferential Trade Arrangements) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 (S.I. 2021/241) and the Customs Tariff (Preferential Trade Arrangements and Tariff Quotas) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 (S.I. 2021/382).
