CARIFORUM-UK Economic Partnership Agreement

The UK has signed an economic partnership agreement (EPA) with the CARIFORUM trade bloc, which is in effect,.
The UK commits to providing immediate duty-free, quota-free access to goods exported from the CARIFORUM States. In exchange, the CARIFORUM States commit to gradual tariff liberalisation of goods. Some domestically sensitive products in the CARIFORUM States are excluded from tariff liberalization.


This EPA includes provisions on:

      • Trade in goods – including provisions on preferential tariffs and rules of origin
      • Trade in services
      • Intellectual property
      • Government procurement

 

In certain areas, there have been some minor changes that may affect the way you trade.
Tariff rates for bilateral trade in goods between the UK and the CARIFORUM States continue to apply as set out in the agreement. However, in some cases, the non-preferential applied rates may in fact be lower because of changes in the UK’s Most Favoured Nation tariff schedule.
