Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS) Webinar Series

The UK Government launched the DCTS on 19th June 2023. The DCTS is the UK’s new unilateral preference scheme and liberalises trade with 65 developing countries. It offers simpler and more generous trading terms and aims to boost trade with partner countries.

We have put together a series of webinars to support businesses to export to the UK under the scheme. All sessions will include a Q&A section. Please feel free to forward these links to relevant business and policy groups. More information on the scheme can be found at Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
