Under the new tariff suspension scheme, UK and Crown Dependency importers can apply for tariff suspensions. The Government will assess these requests and decide whether to grant suspensions for specified goods based on a set of criteria and wider considerations.

All UK and Crown Dependency businesses can benefit from a suspension once it is granted, irrespective of whether that business applied for it, as long as it remains in force.
