To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment she has made of the potential effect of a UK-Kenya free trade agreement on the East African Community’s Common External Tariff.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment she has made of the potential effect of a UK-Kenya free trade agreement on the East African Community’s Common External Tariff.
The United Kingdom is pursuing a trade agreement with the East African Community (EAC), and we recognise the impact that a loss of duty and quota free access to UK markets after the transition period could have on Kenya if an agreement is not in place.
We are engaging with Kenya and all EAC States to secure a trade agreement that will provide this duty and quota free access, and provide lasting certainty for EAC and UK businesses in our trading arrangements.

The Government has set out its position on the Future Economic Partnership (FEP) with the EU in the Political Declaration and White Paper on ‘The future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union’. The FEP will be consistent with the UK’s ambitions as a global trading nation, recognising the development of our independent trade policy beyond the economic partnership with the EU.
Alongside its work to negotiate market access and trade deals, the Department for International Trade (DIT) continues to help businesses to export, encourage and facilitate inward and outward investment, and champion global free trade.

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on a future trade deal with the US of maintaining the (a) common rulebook and (b) common external tariff with the EU after the UK leaves the EU.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on a future trade deal with the US of maintaining the (a) common rulebook and (b) common external tariff with the EU after the UK leaves the EU.
“Negotiating a free trade deal with the US is a high priority for the Government after we have left the EU. Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration the UK would have scope to negotiate an ambitious agreement with the US. We would have an independent trade policy covering goods and services and we would be able to set our own tariffs.
The Government has committed to publishing a scoping assessment prior to launching negotiations – presenting the potential economic impacts of a trade deal with the US.”

The agreed Protocol guarantees that even in the unlikely event that the UK’s future relationship with the EU is not in place by the end of the implementation period, the UK will have a sovereign choice whether to bring into effect a temporary single UK-EU customs territory or to extend the implementation period for a short period of time until the new economic relationship is in place.
The single customs territory option replaces the EU’s proposal for a Northern Ireland-only customs ‘backstop to the backstop’ with a UK-wide solution. It would guarantee no tariffs, quotas or rules of origin between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, or between the UK and the EU. As such, the agreed position safeguards the economic and constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom and ensures people and businesses that rely on an open border between the Northern Ireland and Ireland can continue living their lives and operating as they do now.
Both the UK and the EU are committed to developing alternative arrangements to replace the backstop.The Political Declaration is clear that this includes looking at how facilitative arrangements and technologies can avoid a hard border. The UK and EU are legally obliged to use their best endeavours to conclude such an agreement by 31 December 2020.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have plans for Britain to maintain the EU’s common external tariff permanently; and if so, what assessment they have made of whether this could constrain their ability to strike trade deals with non-EU countries.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have plans for Britain to maintain the EU’s common external tariff permanently; and if so, what assessment they have made of whether this could constrain their ability to strike trade deals with non-EU countries.
The UK will be leaving the Customs Union and Single Market.
In line with the Government’s White Paper ‘The future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union,’ the UK will be free to conduct tariff negotiations with other countries after 29th March 2019, for post Implementation Period tariffs.
We are looking at a full spectrum of options for the future tariff regime and are considering carefully the evidence available before making a final decision that will serve the best interest of British industry and consumers.

The government treats the issue of customs duty undervaluation fraud very seriously, and has taken reasonable and appropriate steps to address suspected fraud.
The response to suspected fraud continues to evolve as new information becomes available and through learning from ongoing operations. HMRC’s current approach includes physical pre-clearance checks targeted at high risk traders, including requiring importers to provide security before suspected undervalued goods are released and seizing mis-described goods. In addition trader monitoring is in place to examine supply chains and check documentation, and post-clearance compliance activity includes cross-tax audits to check the credibility of information provided.
The government does not recognise OLAF’s estimate of alleged duty loss.

But we do want to ensure that cross-border trade with the EU is as frictionless and seamless as possible. These are our guiding objectives for the future customs arrangements with the EU.
