Preferential or removed tariffs are a significant benefit of free trade agreements (FTAs), cutting costs and creating new markets for exporters.
With Trump-led tariffs set to disrupt traditional trade flows, the UK’s post-Brexit FTAs also present an important means through which businesses can find new sources of supply, as well as alternative export markets.
This includes the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), through which the UK has gained preferential access and supply chain benefits with 11 other nations including Japan, Australia and Canada.
However, to qualify for preferential tariffs, businesses need to ensure compliance with the various rules and criteria that are set out within the relevant FTAs, including proving the economic origin of their goods.
This Lunchtime Learning will give in-depth advice regarding rules of origin in major UK FTAs, including CPTPP, and their application and compliance requirements for food and drink exporters and importers.
The webinar follows a free webinar on 25 March in which experts advised on how FTAs in general enable businesses to mitigate the risks of supply chain disruption from new tariffs being imposed by the White House.
The expert on this webinar will be Garima Srivistava, an international trade legislation senior advisor at the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade.
