UK carmakers hope for delay to post-Brexit tariff

Britain left the European Union in early 2021 after clinching a last-gasp free trade deal, removing tariffs for the nation's largely foreign-owned carmakers.

However, under the deal's "rules of origin" condition for goods crossing the border, from 2024 at least 45 percent of the value of vehicle parts must originate from Britain or the European Union in order to be exempt from customs duties.
