(1) Notwithstanding the rules for the interpretation of the Bulgarian customs tariff (BCT), the wording of the description of the products is to be considered as having no
    more than indicative value, the preferential scheme being determined, within the context of this Annex, by the coverage of the BCT code. Where ex BCT codes are indi-
    cated, the preferential scheme is to be determined by application to the BCT code and corresponding description taken together.
( ) Where duty rates appear in both columns (I and II), the applicable duty is the lower of the two in ad valorem terms.
 2
( ) This concession is only applicable to products not benefiting from any kind of export subsidies and in the case of cereal products (CN chapters 10 and 11), are accom-
 3
    panied by an export licence with an indication to that effect.
(4) Bulgarian authorities may divide the annual quota for this product in four equal parts for the respective quarter. The amounts will be opened at the beginning of the
    respective quarter and unutilised quantities will be added to the quantity for the next period within the year specified.
(5) Quantities of goods subject to the existing tariff quota and released for free circulation as from 1 July 2004 before the entry into force of this Protocol shall be fully
    counted against the quantity provided for in the column concerning the Annual Quantity.
