In addition to using carnets, there are two main alternative options for transporting video, photography and recording equipment between the EU and the UK - Temporary Admission and Returned Goods Relief.<\/p>

<\/p>

Temporary Admission is a customs procedure that allows a person to import non-UK goods temporarily into the UK. Using Temporary Admission means any import duty or import VAT is suspended as long as the goods are removed from the UK at a later date. Temporary Admission is useful if a person needs to temporarily import goods such as samples, professional equipment or items for auction, exhibition or demonstration into the\u202fUK. Further information can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-to-import-goods-temporarily-to-the-uk-or-eu<\/a>.<\/p>

<\/p>

Returned Goods Relief (RGR) allows eligible items to be reimported free from Customs duty and import VAT. The relief can apply to exported items returning to the UK if certain conditions can be met. For RGR to apply goods must normally be returned within three years of the date of export unless exceptional circumstances exist. For RGR on import VAT to apply the exporter and importer must be the same person and any VAT due must have been previously paid in the UK or EU. Further information can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pay-less-import-duty-and-vat-when-re-importing-goods-to-the-uk-and-eu<\/a>.<\/p>

The Trade and Cooperation Agreement reached with the EU secures the UK a share of the EU\u2019s current bluefin tuna allocation. Any further increases to the UK\u2019s quota would need to be secured via negotiations in the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT).<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition to national quotas held by its contracting parties, ICCAT makes a small, separate \u2018Research Mortality Allowance\u2019 quota available for specific research purposes that meet strict criteria. RMA supports the delivery of the multiyear \u2018Thunnus UK\u2019<\/a> tuna tagging programme led by Cefas and the University of Exeter. The UK will be applying for continued access to the RMA to continue this work in 2021.<\/p>
