Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to ensure UK businesses exporting to the EU are not paying high import duties and taxes on their goods.

Under the UK-EU Trade and Co-operation Agreement (TCA), both the UK and the EU agreed to remove tariffs in relation to the goods originating in the UK/EU. This means that goods exported to the EU from GB that meet the preferential rules of origin in the TCA do not incur customs duty.

HMG has and continues to provide extensive support to GB business.
