Importers of Tunisian olive oil can apply for quota licences under Notice to Traders 76/26GOV between 1 October 2026 and 5pm on 7 October 2026GOV. Applicants bear responsibility for checking that the application is correct at the time of submissionGOV.

The window operates under Statutory Instrument 2020 No. 1432Legislation, the United Kingdom's tariff-quota framework for agricultural importsLegislation. The prior round for the same quota, Notice to Traders 68/26, shows how the framework is applied to this line: an application had to name Tunisia as country of origin in box 8, cite Statutory Instrument 2020 No. 1432 and Quota Order No. 05.4032 in box 20GOV, and be accompanied by a security of £170 per tonneGOV; the applicant had to be established, and registered for VAT, in the United KingdomGOV; applications and securities received after the 5pm cut-off were rejectedGOV; and the licence was valid from 1 October 2026 until the end of the quota year on 31 December 2026GOV, with security against the main electronic licence released automatically upon attribution of at least 95 per cent of the licence quantityGOV. The prior round also carried an Annex 1 quantity table for the specific application window, identifying 5,277,084 kg available under order number 05.4032 for the September 2026 roundGOV, alongside an application checklist covering the quota order numberGOV, the £170-per-tonne security rateGOV, the commodity description against the CN codeGOV, a valid VAT certificate for the quota yearGOV, and signature by an authorised individualGOV: the same checks apply in substance to the October round.

The October 2026 notice itself carries only the window and the applicant-responsibility ruleGOV, so traders should check the notice for any round-specific conditions that differ from the prior round before applying. An application lodged after 5pm on 7 October 2026 falls outside the window the notice opensGOV.

Legal basis: Statutory Instrument 2020 No. 1432, as applied in Notice to Traders 68/26 and Notice to Traders 76/26.
