Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade) Through EPD negotiations, the UK has agreed preferential trading terms with the US in a range of sectors. This includes locking in a 10% “reciprocal” tariff, 0% for aerospace and pharmaceuticals, and 10% for cars within quota. The UK is also the only country to have avoided 50% steel and aluminium tariffs. Discussions continue on a wider UK-US Economic Deal which will look at addressing specific tariff and non-tariff barriers and increasing digital and services trade. We will keep the House fully informed on these developments along with the expected economic outcomes of the final deal. Impact assessments are completed at the conclusion of a Free Trade Agreement.
