UK Launches Digital Trade Tools

The United Kingdom’s Department for International Trade launched two digital tools to help companies trade with the U.K. during and after the Brexit transition period, according to a Feb. 3 notice. The U.K.’s “Trade with the UK” tool provides “detailed and up-to-date information” on tariffs, taxes and rules for businesses exporting goods into the U.K. The “Check How to Export Goods” tool provides U.K. exporters information on duties and customs procedures for more than 160 foreign markets. The country said the tools will help “existing businesses who are trading internationally and encourage new businesses to start.” Both tools will be updated “regularly” to reflect changes as the transition period progresses and as the U.K. departs the EU.
