NOTIFICATION  
The following submission, dated 26 April 2021, is being circulated at the request of the delegation 
of Norway . The notification concerns imports under tariff quotas ( Table  MA:2 ) during the  
Calendar  Year 2020 . 
 
_______________  
 
  
The import data in this document provides the Table MA:2 notification for 2020. Both minimum 
access quotas and current access quotas for meat to promotional fairs, sheep meat, meat of game, 
cheese, natural honey, apples, pears, hay, turk ey 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 from 
2000 and onwards. Since Norway has fulfilled its commitments, for the current access quotas with 
a tariff -only regime, these will not be a part of the notification.
