Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the White Paper entitled The future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, published in July 2018, how the facilitated customs arrangement set out in that White Paper will operate for UK exports which are sent via Rotterdam to non-EU destinations around the world.

The Facilitated Customs Arrangement (FCA) would remove the need for customs processes between the UK and the EU. The UK also proposes a range of unilateral and bilateral facilitations to reduce frictions for UK trade with the rest of the world. The details of the arrangement will be subject to negotiation with the EU.
