The annual gross value of these tariffs would be subject to the volume of trade that is likely to take place after exit, as well as the tariff rates applied by specific trading partners.</p><p> </p><p>Information on the current EU’s Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff rates are published by the Commission at the following website: <a href="https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32018R1602&amp;from=EN" target="_blank">https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32018R1602&amp;from=EN</a></p><p> </p><p>UK producers who export to existing preferential trading partners by virtue of existing EU free trade agreements may face these countries’ MFN tariff rates, but only where these agreements have not been successfully rolled over prior to leaving. To date, the UK has signed or agreed in principle agreements with countries that account for 63% of the UK’s trade with all the countries with which the UK is seeking continuity in the event of a potential No Deal (based on total goods and services trade - imports and exports - with the UK, according to ONS data, 2018).

As the UK leaves the EU, we recognise the need for a smooth transition in our trading arrangements with developing countries. That is why the UK Government has introduced legislation which enables the UK to put in place a trade preference scheme.
