We’ve signed an historic trade agreement with Australia that benefits the UK by eliminating most tariffs on UK exports - unlocking £10.4 billion of additional trade.
Our deal stands to boost the North East’s economy by £65 million and will create new work and travel opportunities for both Brits and Aussies.
And one of our key exporters, Nissan will benefit from tariffs being axed from 5% to 0% on British made cars exported to Australia.
