Motor Vehicles: USA
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to help small-volume automotive manufacturers access the US market.
Answered by Chris Bryant
The Economic Prosperity Deal has reduced tariffs for UK exporters in critical sectors such as the car industry - this includes a preferential rate of 10% on 100,000 UK cars exported to the US each year.
The UK exports around 100,000 cars a year, so this quota will ensure most cars entering the US will do so at a preferential rate.
We are also providing targeted export support through our exports programme and engaging in wider trade policy dialogues with the US.
