What happened to Trump tax?

[HDAV]

Not wanting to divert a thread on vat on imports from france I’ll start another


Before Covid and brexit the EU had a Barney with trump over steel tariffs and levied a tax on leisure marine imports from the us as a retaliation.

Now we have left the eu and lost all the benefits are we now able to import marine goods direct from the us and avoid these extra taxes? Marine gear especially leisure is much cheaper in the us so is the market for grey imports ripe? Shortages the last few seasons means there hasn’t been much stock about but that will surely change?

How very naughty of you to Brexit and Trump in the one post - Poly will be tying a bow in his pinny before reaching for the duster.

In the brief period before he does, allow me:

There is a trade agreement in the pipeline. Once the Borlrus decided to shaft his neighbours and reignite a hotbed of civil warfare in his NIther region, Sleepy Joe opened an eye and began singing the ole Irish rebel songs his grandpappy taught him. I'd say your next PM will be busy mending fences.

Well that's a clear and succint answer to the question. Not sure if it'sa"yes" or a "no" though

Need marigolds and a hazmat suit for the double trouble of those two.

I'll leave it here for now on the strict basis that the question which is being asked is "Are the import duties to the UK for Marine Leisure products still at the higher rate?"

People can answer that question without the B word or referring to individual politicians who have or have not triggered it.

I suppose you can live in a world of dreams!
