Q&A Q: I own a Halal butcher shop and we have a large catering order, we sometimes wish to purchase lamb carcases from overseas?
 View answer
A: Sheepmeat imports enter the EU via preferential quotas or by paying import duties. The following have country specific sheepmeat quotas with zero import duties: Argentina, Australia, Chile, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway Turkey and Uruguay. If a buyer considers importing sheepmeat outside one of these quotas high tariffs apply. For example, bone-in lamb legs attract 12.8% customs duty on the CIF price, plus an import tariff of €2,227 per tonne.
