The chapter will provide for the liberalisation of trade of originating goods between the UK and Australia. It will remove tariffs in accordance with each party鈥檚 tariff schedule.

The chapter will also help to facilitate trade in goods between the UK and Australia. This will be done by reducing non-tariff barriers, increasing transparency and cooperation, and supporting the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules-based system.

Australia has agreed to remove tariffs on all UK goods exports with most exports being tariff-free from entry into force of the agreement. A small number of tariffs on UK exports of cheese and steel will move towards complete liberalisation over a 5-year period.

The UK has agreed to liberalise tariffs on most Australian exports. We have protected sensitive UK industries through measures including staged liberalisation, tariff rate quotas, and product specific safeguards for beef and sheepmeat. A general bilateral safeguard mechanism will provide further protections if they face serious injury from increased imports as a direct consequence of the free trade agreement (FTA). This applies to all products.
