Israeli Settlements: Import Controls
Asked by: Richard Burgon (Labour - Leeds East) Tuesday 4th November 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 15 October 2025 to Question 77510 on Israeli Settlements: Import Controls, how many companies have been found by HMRC to be in breach of mis-declaring goods from the Occupied Palestinian Territories as Israeli products in each financial year since 2010-11. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) The UK Government has a clear position that Israeli settlements in Palestine are illegal under international law. Goods produced in these settlements are not entitled to benefit from preferential tariff treatment under the UK’s current trade agreements with the Palestinian Authority and Government of Israel. Where there are doubts about the origin of goods that have been declared as being of Israeli origin, HMRC will undertake checks to verify the origin of those goods to ensure fiscal compliance. HMRC does not however provide specific details regarding checks as it may serve to undermine compliance activity. |
