Measure
The government is maintaining tariff-free imports on over 2,000 goods, ranging from vaccine components to ingredients used by UK food producers.
Businesses and people claiming reduced tariffs rate on goods covered by the tariff suspensions currently in force within the UK trade tariff.
The new measure will extend, for five years, tariff suspensions on goods already in force.
This measure will provide continuity for UK traders currently claiming a reduced tariff rate on goods covered by the measure. It will be welcomed as a way to support businesses operating in key sectors, including the UK’s healthcare and life sciences industry, to minimise their liability to customs duty.
