Information on general (non-quota) import/export licences
Introduction
This notice explains the changes coming into force for general licences for imports of rice and ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin and export licences for rice from 23 December 2021.
Revocation of the requirement for general import/export licences
The Import and Export Licensing (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2021 No.1358 coming into force on 23 December 2021 will revoke the requirement for general licences for imports of rice and ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin and export licences for rice.
These regulations will remove the requirement for a licence to be presented when importing rice and ethyl alcohol into Great Britain or for the export of rice from Great Britain. However, in accordance with the Northern Ireland Protocol, the requirement for import licences to be presented will still be in place in Northern Ireland. CN codes and their descriptions for which this applies to are noted in the Annex of this Notice.
There will not be a requirement to present a licence when exporting rice from Northern Ireland.
Note: If you plan to import or export rice or ethyl alcohol after the 23 December 2021 you do not need to apply for a licence prior to this date.
Release of Securities
For licences which are valid immediately prior to 23 December, securities will be released automatically at the end of their validity. Licence securities will also be released upon request via email.
