Household goods and foods are set to be cheaper under a post-Brexit tariff regime unveiled by the Government today. The Department for International Trade said the new system, called the UK Global Tariff, will see duties axed on around £62billion worth of imports.
It came as the UK Government tried to pile pressure on the EU over the future relationship between Britain and Brussels by publishing 12 draft agreements covering areas such as trade, aviation and criminal justice.
As Britain prepares to leave the Brexit transition on December 31, ministers unveiled the list of tariffs which will be axed or maintained when EU rules cease to apply.
