The Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation has announced (1 July 2018) a new round of the tariff suspension/quota schemes and is calling for applications from manufacturers in the chemicals, microelectronic and related sectors. The tariff suspension scheme offers the possibility for such companies to import raw materials, components or intermediate products from outside the European Union free from tariff duty, if the item cannot be sourced in the EU.  

Closing date and time for the receipt of the next round of applications is 5.30p.m. on Friday, 27^th July 2018. 

Applications should be sent by e-mail here 

The suspension of duties on these applications, if they are successful, will come into effect 12 months after the application is made.
