Quota Bulletin 26-509: 2026 United Kingdom Automobile Quarter 3 Tariff Rate Quota Opens
CBP has published Quota Bulletin 26-509 announcing the Quarter 3 Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) for automobiles originating in the United Kingdom for 2026. Importers of UK-origin vehicles should verify their eligibility and available quota balance before shipping to ensure in-quota duty treatment.
TRQ fill rates for UK autos can move quickly once a quarter opens, so our position is that clients confirm quota availability and have all origin documentation in order before cargo departs the UK. Filing timing relative to quota opening can be the difference between the in-quota and out-of-quota duty rate.

Our position is general commentary on a published notice, not legal advice and not a binding opinion on any shipment. Nothing here creates a broker-client relationship or a duty of care, and it is not a substitute for a ruling, a licensed review of your facts, or the official notice itself.
