Free Trade Agreement

The Department for International Trade (DIT) North East would like your input in shaping the activity and support they provide in the region, to place businesses in the best possible position to capitalise on the opportunities available in Free Trade Agreement (FTA) markets. ​

The UK is seeking trade agreements with major trading partners to ensure continuity for businesses. Trade agreements set out the rules that cover trade between two or more countries and aim to make trading easier between those countries. They do this by reducing the restrictions on imports and exports between them. ​

To ensure the practical knowledge and support DIT provide is beneficial to North East businesses, we would be grateful if you could spare a few minutes to complete their short survey.

Complete the survey here​

Date: 01/06/2022

Eligible businesses who respond to the survey will also have the opportunity to receive FREE follow up advice and support from a member of their Free Trade Agreements team.​
