Attleborough Academy are holding a careers event for their students on Tuesday 14 March 2017 in the morning and inviting businesses to take an exhibition stand.
What is the ‘Origin’ of these goods? It can appear like an easy question, but it can be a bit more complicated to answer. Under the EU Trade and Co-operation Agreement the rules extend to 37 pages, in the Economic Partnership Agreement with Japan they run to 27. Each set of rules is broadly similar but its the product specific details that provide advantage for each party.
This webinar will aim to help identify where trade agreements can deliver competitive advantage for businesses in the UK. We will be joined both by experts on maximising the benefit of tariff free deals and by colleagues from the Department of International Trade who are negotiating to increase free trade and expand our exports into new markets.
Speakers include:
Liam Smyth – Director of Trade Facilitation at the British Chambers of Commerce & Managing Director at ChamberCustoms
Neil Feinson – Deputy Director, Competition and Goods Policy, Department for International Trade (DIT)
