  The United Kingdom (UK) operates a system of import licences in order to i) monitor trade flows for certain agricultural products without limiting access to the UK market or ii) administer tariff rate quotas (TRQs) by the simultaneous examination method for certain agricultural products arising from obligations at the WTO or resulting from arrangements with the government of a country or territory of a country outside the UK.
