| More than £1 million \nbut less than £25 million | £250,000 |
| More than £25 million \nbut less than £100 million | 1% of the potential duty |

The potential duty, in the case of established manufacturers, is the amount of duty suspended on movements in an average week during the previous 12 months
The potential duty, in the case of new manufacturers, will be the amount of duty that the manufacturer expects will be suspended on movements in an average week. The “average” week, in this case, is the expected average of the next 52 weeks.
