- UK considering tariffs on Chinese EV imports.
- Move aims to align UK with EU trade policy.
- Current UK duty is 10%, unlike US 100% tariff.
Reports on Sunday indicate the United Kingdom is preparing to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle (EV) imports. This potential policy shift aims to align the UK with the European Union, which has reportedly raised the issue as part of discussions surrounding its upcoming “Made in Europe” legislation. Currently, Chinese EVs face only a 10% standard import duty in the UK, making it an outlier among major overseas markets. This contrasts sharply with the United States, which has effectively shut out Chinese EVs with a 100% tariff, and the EU’s broader efforts to protect its manufacturing sectors.
