Close to one fifth of the value of EU27 exports to the UK relates to motor vehicles, which carry very high duty. Moreover, as the structure of exports differs across EU-27 member countries, the average incidence of the tariff applied to exports to the UK would also differ.
In the case of Germany, the tariff would be similar to the EU-27 average; for France and Italy it would be slightly less; Ireland, Spain and Poland would be faced with average duties in excess of 6 per cent.
