EU and UK import tariff rates for selected horticultural products
The below table details the respective tariff rates the EU and the UK apply to selected horticulture products unless:
-
the country imports come from has a preferential trade agreement
-
an exception applies, such as a relief or tariff suspension
-
the goods come from developing countries covered by the Generalised Scheme of Preferences
We have calculated the percentage increase in price that these tariffs will add to the cost of imported products and compared them to the EU’s common external tariff. As the UK and EU have agreed a trade deal these tariffs do not apply to trade between the two parties.
