20 March 2019

The Government has announced that if the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the UK will implement a temporary tariff. This is a balanced tariff policy which aims to minimise costs to business and mitigate price impacts on consumers. The Government has set out extensive information through the gov.uk website about what this policy will mean for businesses and the public.
