This is covering liqueurs and single malts form Northern Ireland and Scotland.
While United Kingdom has left the European Union, the current rules regarding trade is going to continue during the period of transition until the beginning of the year 2021 while there are newer trade relationships being negotiated.
The tariffs are going to be retained as well on the cashmere jumpers which are coming from Scotland and the sweet biscuits from Britain of which Scottish shortbread is the biggest export.
A few of the meat types and the produce from dairy form the United Kingdom as well as European Union have been facing the tariffs since the 15th of October in addition to the books and a bit of fruit and shellfish.
