Today, the UK has announced new measures to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia by removing all tariffs covered by the existing UK-Ukraine trade deal and hitting the Putin government with fresh sanctions. All tariffs on goods imported from Ukraine will now be reduced to zero, and all quotas will be removed under the free trade agreement, providing Ukraine economic support in their hour of need. The Prime Minister pledged to cut tariffs to support Ukraine’s economy through this crisis when he visited Kyiv earlier this month. International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan met the Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, Vadym Prystaiko, in London last week to reiterate the UK’s unwavering support for Ukraine and set out the new measures.
Britain has abolished all duties on imports from Ukraine.
The Ministry of Finance denies an additional import duty of 10%.
