Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to provide financial or logistical support to small craft manufacturers struggling with high import duties when bringing their own work back into the UK after exhibiting abroad.

Relief from import duties can be claimed when bringing goods back into the UK. Returned Goods Relief allows individuals and businesses to claim relief from customs duty and import VAT on goods which are exported from the UK and subsequently returned to the UK, subject to meeting the relief’s conditions.

Guidance on the financial and logistical support which may be available for moving goods temporarily between the UK and other countries without payment of import duties can be found on GOV.UK.
