Course description
The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement secured tariff-free trade for businesses trading between the UK and EU following the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020. However, it is the “economic nationality” of products that will determine the level of duty applied or if they are subject to exemptions. These “Rules of Origin” determine country-specific priorities in every Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
Programme Summary
This workshop examines how customs authorities determine the “economic nationality” of goods – either where they are wholly grown, produced or where the last substantial manufacturing transformation took place – and what UK businesses need to do to ensure that they remain compliant with UK Customs regulations.
