Note: 
(1) In certain cases, even though the corresponding quota tender process was opened, there was no seller, or there was no buyer, or there was neither a buyer nor a seller, or 
there was both a buyer and a seller but the transaction was not closed, and the tende r was therefore declared void and the quota remained unallocated . 
(2) This quota was not opened due to the fact that the scheduled  15% tariff is equal to the current tariff.

Note: 
(1) "None" means that there were no in -quota imports under the tariff subheading for either of the following reasons :  
• The product was imported under another tariff subheading covered by the same quota . 
• In certain cases, even though the corresponding quota tender process was opened, there was no seller, or there was no buyer, or there was neither a buyer nor a seller, 
or there was both a buyer and a seller but the transaction was not closed, and the tende r was therefore declared void and the quota remained unallocated .
