Issuing tariff rate quota certificates from unrestricted access amount (3) Subject to subsection (4), the first come, first served method applies for the purposes of issuing a tariff rate quota certificate from the unrestricted access amount in relation to a consignment of UK FTA beef for export to the United Kingdom.
