The Taxation (Cross-Border Trade) Act enables the UK to put in place a UK trade preferences scheme for developing countries. This will grant duty-free quota-free access to UK markets for Least Developed Countries, including Rwanda.


The UK looks forward to discussing the possibility of a trade agreement in East Africa with Rwandan partners in the near future.
