The EU and the USA have reached an agreement setting a fixed ceiling of 15% customs duty on most goods – and completely removing tariffs on a number of strategically important products. The agreement sends a clear signal that free trade can still prevail over protectionism.
"In a time of global challenges and uncertainty in the world markets, it is important to have stable framework conditions for our customers. This agreement brings stability to trade across the Atlantic," says Dennis Kring Friis, Manager for Customs Clearance.
For Danish logistics, the agreement means increased predictability in trade with our largest trading partner to the west – giving companies the opportunity to plan their transport and supply chains with greater certainty.
