The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement secured tariff-free trade for businesses trading between the UK and EU following the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020.
However, to qualify for this tariff and quota-free trade, firms need to comply with Rules of Origin specified by the deal.
This one-hour webinar from the Institute of Export & International Trade will give an overview of these new rules, covering:
- What is origin and why is it important in international trade
- What are the rules of origin in the UK: EU trade deal
- Key principles around bilateral cumulation, when they do and don’t apply
- Proving origin: supplier declarations and importer’s knowledge
- Use of customs and trade procedures to support effective trade and zero tariffs
- Commercial implications for businesses, challenges and opportunities
The webinar will include a short Q&A and you can ask questions in advance when registering. However, please note that we are expecting to receive a significant amount of queries and will not be able to get to all of them during the allotted time.
