Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 19 October 2020 to Question 102656 on Trade Agreements: Ghana and Kenya, when she plans to publish full details of the (a) eligibility criteria and (b) tariffs available to nations to trade through the (a) UK Generalised Scheme of Preferences and (b) Enhanced Framework of the UK Generalised Scheme of Preferences; and if she will make a statement.

At the end of the Transition Period, we will launch our own Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP), which will replicate the three levels of market access provided by the EU Generalised Scheme of preferences.

The regulations that bring the UK GSP into effect will be laid in Parliament before the end of the year. Guidance is available on gov.uk that explains the UK Generalised Scheme of Preferences’ eligibility criteria and tariffs, including for the Enhanced Framework.
