This guidance is produced in partnership with Deloitte, the BRC’s Annual Trade Partner 2020/21. 

The Trade and Co-operation Agreement between the UK and the EU includes new Rules of Origin, stipulating which goods are, and are not, subject to zero tariffs. The rules are complex with complications in how zero tariffs are applied to goods when they cross in and out of different customs territories.
 
This guide helps explain the new Rules and their practical application across different supply and distribution chains, with advice on how to mitigate business impacts and associated costs.
