Origin Marking: Israeli Settlements
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what information his Department holds on whether goods originating from Israeli settlements are labelled as originating from within Israel’s pre-1967 borders.
Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander
The overseas business risk guidance, available on gov.uk, provides information for UK operators on how goods from Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories should be labelled. Where there are doubts about the declared origin of goods, HMRC will undertake checks to verify the origin of those goods to ensure compliance.
