UK publishes temporary custom tariff information ahead of ‘no deal’ Brexit vote

On 13 March 2019 the UK’s HM Treasury, HM Revenue and Customs, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and Department for International Trade have published a temporary tariff regime in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal. According to the UK’s press release, this tariff regime is designed to “minimize costs to businesses and consumers while protecting vulnerable industries.” These tariff regime publications are also designed to inform the Members of the House of Commons ahead of their vote in Parliament on leaving the EU without a deal. This vote is scheduled for 13 March 2019.
