New trade measures take effect this month, with reduced tariffs on specific machinery imports while new duties will apply to carpets and other goods. The adjustments aim to balance market access and domestic industry support under shifting trade policies. Businesses in manufacturing and textiles may face immediate operational changes as customs rules are updated. Details on which products are affected and how the shifts could impact supply chains are now available.
From 30 October, tariffs will be eased on some products, including certain machinery, and placed on others, such as carpets.
