The in-quota\ncommitment is set off by an out-of-quota commitment, &amp; the latter does not\nimpose any limitation on the value or quantity of a product that may be\nimported, but rather applies a higher tariff rate to that particular product.\nImports encounter this higher duty rate as soon as the in-quota quantity or value has\nbeen reached, or if any requisite linked with the \u201cin-quota commitment\u201d is not\nmet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A TRQ has normally deemed a measure to safeguard local production by imposing limitations on imports. Under this framework, the quota component consolidates with a prescribed tariff level to render ample protection. In many scenarios, imports above the limit may encounter a restrictive \u201cout-of-quota\u201d tariff rate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-left\"><b>Read our article<\/b>:<mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/guide-to-raise-iec-certification-for-a-partnership-firm\/\">Step by Step Guide to Raise IE Certification for a Partnership Firm <\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Potential_beneficiaries_of_Tariff_Rate_Quota_Scheme\"><\/span>Potential beneficiaries of Tariff Rate Quota Scheme<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>TRQ aims to benefits the following individuals: <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Manufacturer exporters <\/li><li>Manufacturer exporters with or without relevant manufacturer;<\/li><li>Merchant exporters connected with supporting exporters;<\/li><li>Service provider<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pre-requisites_for_getting_TRQ_authorization\"><\/span>Pre-requisites for getting TRQ authorization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Following pre-requisites are required:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The applicant profile on DGFT should be linked with <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/iec-registration\"><strong>Import Export Code<\/strong><\/a>;<\/li><li>A Legit DSC (Digital Signature certificate) should be registered on the DGFT portal <\/li><li>GSTN details corresponding to the IEC\u2019s branch code are needed. <\/li><li>Valid RCMC details issued to the IEC<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Online_Procedure_to_apply_for_Tariff_Rate_Quota\"><\/span>Online Procedure to apply for Tariff Rate Quota <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how importers can apply for Tariff Rate Quota via the DGFT portal: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New user registration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Visit the DGFT portal and provide the registration details and opt for \u201c<em><strong>register user as importer\/exporter<\/strong>\u201d.<\/em><\/li><li>Enter OTP in the required field received on your registered contact number &amp; email.
