# End-use

<div id="bkmrk-the-%E2%80%9Cend-use%E2%80%9D-refere">The “end-use” reference in the EU–Mercosur ethanol TRQ should be understood as an **agreement-level tariff condition (intended use requirement)** and not, as such, the EU customs **end-use special procedure under the Union Customs Code (including Article 211 UCC)**. In practical terms, this means you are not automatically required to apply for or operate under a customs end-use authorisation system solely because of this wording. Your immediate obligation is to ensure that, if and when the chemical-industry TRQ is claimed, you can **demonstrate and document downstream delivery to bona fide industrial users in CN Chapters 28–40**, supported by contractual end-use declarations and traceable sales and delivery records. Only if the EU were to formally implement a separate customs end-use procedure under UCC rules would a licensing requirement under Article 211 potentially become relevant.
