Description

The rules of origin negotiated in a future trade agreement with the EU will be of vital importance to ensuring that EU-UK trade can continue as freely as possible.

Negotiations on rules of origin are typically conducted on a line by line basis covering all 5206 product codes of the World Customs Organisations Harmonised System, which for the purposes of international trade allows participating countries to classify traded goods on a common basis. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy will have a direct interest in sixteen out of twenty-one sections of the Harmonised System, covering 3410 BEIS owned products.

This is a complex area and we are now looking for some dedicated support to supplement the activity of the BEIS teams.
