From 27th April 2025, the UK Government temporarily suspended import tariffs on 89 widely used products including pasta, fruit juices, spices, plastics, and gardening supplies. This measure, which forms part of the UK Government’s broader ‘Plan for Change’ which is a comprehensive strategy aimed at ensuring long-term prosperity, will boost economic growth and support businesses by reducing import costs.
The suspension is projected to save UK businesses at least £17 million annually. For Denholm Good Logistics customers, this presents a strategic opportunity to reassess import strategies. Whether you’re involved in manufacturing, distribution, or seasonal stock planning, the tariff relief could lead to more competitive sourcing and improved margins.
The temporary suspension of import tariffs forms part of the UK Government’s effort to reduce the cost of essential goods and enhance the resilience of supply chains. For businesses looking to take full advantage of this change, preparation is key. This includes reviewing tariff codes, verifying product classifications, checking documentation accuracy, and ensuring your customs declarations are fully aligned with the revised requirements.
