🌍 Big news for global trade and development ⬇️ #DCTS #UKTrade

The Developing Countries Trading Scheme just got even better. But what is it and why does it matter?

From 1 January 2026, the scheme now makes it easier for businesses in DCTS partner countries to:

✅ Source inputs from multiple countries
✅ Process or manufacture goods locally
✅ Export these goods duty-free to the UK

Why does this matter?
Since launch, nearly £22 billion worth of goods imported by the UK from developing countries have already benefited from tariff savings under the DCTS [1].

This is a win for businesses, a win for developing economies, and a win for global trade.
