Starting today, British car and aerospace manufacturers will benefit from significant tariff reductions when exporting to the United States, thanks to the implementation of a landmark UK-US trade agreement. This move is expected to safeguard thousands of jobs in the United Kingdom.
The UK is the only nation to have secured such a deal with the US, lowering car export tariffs from 27.5% to 10%. This reduction will save manufacturers hundreds of millions of pounds annually and help protect hundreds of thousands of jobs across the sector.
Meanwhile, the aerospace industry will see the elimination of 10% tariffs on key exports such as engines and aircraft components. This change will enhance the competitiveness of firms like Rolls-Royce and support their continued leadership in innovation.
These developments represent a major success for both industries, strengthening the global competitiveness of UK manufacturers, protecting British jobs, and reinforcing the UK’s reputation for innovation and excellence.
"Our historic trade deal with the United States delivers for British businesses and protects UK jobs. From today, our world-class automotive and aerospace industries will see tariffs slashed, safeguarding key industries that are vital to our economy," - stated UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
"These changes are a huge win for both sectors and will help ensure UK manufacturers remain globally competitive, protect British jobs and continue to lead in innovation and excellence," he added.
The UK is the only country to be exempt from the global tariff of 50% on steel and aluminium.
As the Prime Minister and President Donald Trump have again confirmed, "We will continue, go further and make progress towards 0% tariffs on core steel products as agreed," the British statement added.
