answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2021 answer text The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement seeks to reduce the costs for traders of customs processes introduced following the end of the transition period with the EU. It supports efficient customs arrangements and ensures that goods originating in the EU or UK are not subject to tariffs. For goods that do not meet requirements of the rules of origin, tariffs still apply. Products sent between the EU to the UK may also be liable for other charges such as excise duty and import VAT. The extent to which any of these charges and impacts feed through to consumer prices is based on a range of factors including individual business decisions. answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 19/05/2021 14:10:09 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
