The import of many agricultural products into the European Union require an import licence to bepresented at the time of import declaration. There are two kinds of import licences: a standard
import licence may be required for a certain amount of products, but it does not entail a lower duty, whereas a quota import licence includes the right to import at a lower duty.

The application for an import licence often requires the importer to lodge a security. The security will be released as soon as the licence has been returned to the Agency showing that the amount of products have been declared and accepted by the customs.
