Those tarriffs are for imports. Which can indeed be set by the UK Govt.

Where are the UK Govt projections of the tarriffs likely to be imposed on UK exports ?

Have they been published anywhere ?


They are the tariffs each country applies to imports of any goods. You'll have to look
them up on a country-by-country basis.


But why should anyone have to look them up ?

The Govt are falling over themselves to publish the "good news" - hurrah
we're going to abolish tarriffs on imports so everything is going to be cheaper

But are strangely silent on the tarriffs the RoW may impose on our exports which
may render them uncompeteive. Don't you worry your pretty little heads about
those - or look them up if you can find out where to look.

The level of complacency you show on this matter is astonishing and
leads one to wonder if you actually live in the real world at all.

You do realise I take it that come Oct 31st entire industries, firms large and small
along with farmers etc are going to have to rethink their entire strategy as to what
they do and how they go about it in respect of 43% of the UK's exports ?
Which in some cases may well be 100% of their exports.

woory abot those - just look them up








The UK, as with all other countries, does not impose any tariffs on its own exports.

It's how it works.

Or are the Govt secretly hoping that our competitors will somehow take pity on us ?


I think they're secretly hoping you'll start to understand how tariffs work.
