Following the raft of US tariffs announced by Donald Trump, the BFFF are keen to understand the impact on UK trade. We would also welcome your thoughts on the list of US products the UK government may consider imposing a retaliatory 10% tariff upon.

According to a recent IGD report ‘the UK’s food and drink trade with the US is limited, accounting for about 2% of UK imports and about 10% of exports.

Exports to the US are worth about £75m per year, dominated by spirits (50%), followed by fish (17%), cereals (6%) and dairy (5%). Much of this is likely to be made up of products from Scotland’.

The UK Government have also launched a consultation asking what stakeholders think about the impacts that any future UK tariffs might have, if applied on US goods. The information gathered will help the government to assess the scope and impacts of any UK tariff measures that could be applied.

Unfortunately, as a trade association we are unable to access this consultation to review the questions, or answer it directly on your behalf but we would encourage members to:

Respond formally to the consultation which can be accessed here (by 1^st May)

Share your thoughts with us by emailing deniserion@bfff.co.uk. This will ensure we can represent your interests most effectively during conversations with government officials.
