Duty suspensions aim to support the competitiveness of businesses in the UK within the global marketplace. This is achieved by temporarily suspending import duties on specific goods, typically those employed in domestic production.

Duty suspensions applicable to products previously existing in the UK under the EU suspensions regime have been carried over into the UK’s independent regime. They have been retained, provided they came into force before, or as part of, the EU’s July 2020 update, ensuring uninterrupted continuity for UK businesses.

In the most recent announcement from the UK Trade Tariff, the Department for Business and Trade has extended all current duty suspensions rolled over from the EU regime, including EU ATQs, which were changed to duty suspensions. This extension applies until the 31^st of December 2028.
