In the case of tariff quotas other than those resulting from preferential tariff agreements, the customs declaration for release for free circulation for the products concerned shall be submitted to the customs authorities of the Union together with a document issued by the competent authority or agency in the third country of origin. This document shall include: (a) the name of the consigner; (b) the type of product and its CN code; (c) the number of packages, their nature and the marks and numbers they bear; (d) the order number or order numbers of the tariff quota(s) concerned; (e) the total net weight broken down per coefficient category as provided for in Annex I.
