Safeguard measures for imports of steel and iron products into the EU are extended until mid-2024. However, in accordance with the legislation in place, it is possible to benefit from a partial or total suspension of duty and to benefit from the regularly opening tariff quotas. Access to the quota must be requested by the importer or his customs representative in the customs declaration. The quotas set are drawn gradually (by the FIFO method), so it is not possible to "book" the duty reduction in advance in any way. Therefore, where the suspension of duties is conditional on a terminal use regime in the EU, only entities authorized by that customs procedure may benefit from it. Quotas can be monitored on the European Commission's website, in the QUOTA database.
