Notice Information

Notice Title

FTA Preference Utilisation Project

Notice Description

The requirement emanates from a need to fully evaluate the work carried out by the FTA Utilisation team with regards to the Australia and New Zealand FTAs, and the impact our work has had on UK businesses looking to trade with these countries. This will allow us to evaluate and improve our service offer as a team, but also improve wider utlilisation of preferential tariffs as negotiated in the UK's new Free Trade Agreements. The consultants in question intend to survey companies using our materials to provide recommendations to HMG on ways to improve industry understanding of Rules of Origin requirements.
