Explanatory notes :  
 
1  "None" means that there were no in-quota imports given that, in  certain cases, even though a quota is opened, there are eithe r no buyers or no sellers, or neither buyers 
nor sellers, or there are both buyers and sellers but the transac tion is not closed;  consequently the quota is declared invali d and is not allocated. 
2  Imports exceed the quota quantities given that these are bulk products to which a tolerance of plus or minus 5 per cent appli es.
