What does this mean for Irish Exporters?
What should Exporters do now?
Now that there is some certainty, Irish Exporters should assess their options in terms of duty planning and supply chain reviews. In particular look at confirming the origin of your goods, the dutiable value and your contract terms.
Also investigate the option of accessing new markets leveraging off the EU Trade Agreements.
This is the time for advanced duty planning as it is unlikely duty rates are going to now reduce in the short to medium term.
