About the CARIFORUM-UK EPA

The UK successfully signed an Economic Partnership Agreement with 14 CARIFORUM Member States, which is now in effect. CARIFORUM States commit to gradual tariff liberalisation of UK goods to dynamic markets in the Caribbean. The UK provides immediate duty-free, quota-free access to goods exported from CARIFORUM States. The Agreement also has provisions on other modern trade issues such as trade in services, investment, government procurement, intellectual property and competition policy.
