<p>The Taxation (Cross-Border Trade) Act 2018 enables the UK to put in place a trade
preferences scheme for developing countries that maintains the same level of access
as the EU's Generalised Scheme of Preferences. The UK trade preference scheme will
grant duty-free, quota-free access to Least Developed Countries, including Burkina
Faso, upholding a target in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.</p><p> </p><p>Currently
the trade agreement between the EU and 16 West African States, including Burkina Faso,
has not been signed by all of the West African states and is therefore not in force.
Should this change, the UK would look to transition the agreement.</p>
