Calendar  Year 2021 .

The import data in this document provides the Table MA:2 notification for 202 1. Both minimum 
access quotas and current access quotas for meat to promotional fairs, sheep meat, meat of game, 
cheese, natural honey, apples, pears, hay, turke y roll and corned beef are included in the 
notification. For other current access quotas included in Norway's Schedule, as of 2000 the bound 
MFN tariff has been at the level of the in -quota tariff. A tariff -only regime applies to these TRQs
