DescriptionSigned the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) with the EU, after Brexit. Under the rules of origin in the TCA, there is a requirement that wheat used should be of UK or EU origin, with a maximum tolerance of 15 percent for grain from other countries such as Canada or the US. If the content of non-EU wheat is more than 15 percent, the full tariff of EUR 172 (USD 206) per tonne must be paid.
