This bulletin sets the quota mechanics for UK automobile entries in Q4 2026. We apply these opening date and proration rules to any qualifying UK automobile entries we file for clients. Clients importing UK automobiles under this quota do not need to take separate action, but should contact us if they have specific entries they want us to review for quota timing.
