Trade: Bureaucracy

(asked on 10th February 2022) - View Source

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to promote the reduction of bureaucracy in international trade.


This question was answered on 8th March 2022

Through the Export Strategy, the Department is working across government to identify areas where we can reduce the regulatory burden, including through initiatives like the Single Trade Window which will create a single gateway for all data from traders into government. This streamlining of how businesses interact with the UK border will ease the business burden through efficiency and cost savings.

The Export Support Service provides a single point of entry for advice and support for businesses who export or wish to do so to Europe, and the Export Academy offers training on the nature of exporting such as Preferential Tariffs.

In the last financial year, we resolved over 200 barriers across 74 countries. And we have secured trade deals with 70 countries plus the EU, these deals covered trade worth £772 billion in 2020.
