Import Duties: UK Trade with EU

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to reduce import duties on businesses spending less than £10,000 on goods in Europe on a single trip.

Answered by James Murray

The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement governs goods trade between the UK and EU and provides that all goods can be traded tariff-free subject to rules of origin requirements being met. The Government is committed to working with European partners to improve the UK’s trade and investment relationship across a range of areas. Further information on trading tariff-free under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement is available on GOV.UK here: Introduction to rules of origin and claiming duties when trading between the UK and EU - GOV.UK
