Written Question
Humanitarian Aid: EU Countries
Thursday 10th March 2022

Asked by: Joanna Cherry (Scottish National Party - Edinburgh South West)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment he has made of the impact of (a) trade rules implemented following the UK's departure from the EU and (b) rules on sending charitable donations of goods to EU countries on the number of shipments of humanitarian aid from the UK to EU countries, such as Greece and Poland.

Answered by Ranil Jayawardena

British goods exports to the EU were up 4.1% in 2021 on the previous year, whilst British goods imports from the EU were down 4.5% in the same period.

Although customs processes must still be followed, humanitarian goods are subject to customs duty relief. Businesses and charities can contact the Export Support Service for help relating to the Ukraine crisis.
