Textiles: Exports
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to reduce trade barriers for exports of British textile products to the USA.
- Answer
-
Through negotiations on the Economic Prosperity Deal (EPD), the UK enjoys preferential trading terms with the US across a range of key sectors, including automotives, pharmaceuticals, and core steel and aluminium.
Discussions on the EPD continue, which will look at addressing tariff and non-tariff barriers, increasing digital and services trade, and unlocking new commercial opportunities that benefit both nations. We do not comment on ongoing negotiations.
UK businesses, including those in the textiles industry, can access information, advice and services through the Business Growth Service via business.gov.uk. This includes guidance on market selection, operating overseas, trade restrictions and regulations.
