Except the UK can't actually do that, it has to still be negotiated....

EU imported cheddar tariffs:

Any Country	Third country duty	167.10 EUR / 100 kg
All third countries	Non preferential tariff quota	21.00 EUR / 100 kg
Japan	Tariff preference	0%

Not the quoted 40% in the Gardian though is it.

You mean to say we're potentially going to have to pay an extra ~20p for St Agur??????

£2.45 instead of £2.25* !!!!????

Christ, let's beg the EU to bend us over now while we still have the chance....

Care to share your workings? You’re well out.

(167.10 + 21) per 100 KG / 100 = 1.881 per 1 KG
1.881 per 1KG / 10 = 0.1881 per 100 gram

St Agur linked is 150gr
so, 0.1881 * 1.5 = Extra per pack of 0.28215

Current Price £2.25 + 0.24p (EUR 0.28215 = ~0.24p) = new price of £2.49

4p difference from my original figure, is hardly 'well out'

Now - what's your workings, for me to be 'well out' ?

Or are you just sea-lioning?

meridian - don't bother replying - I've seen the other thread where you said;

Edit. Well that’s my maths ****ed.

I stand corrected, I think - on the face of it, the numbers stack up.

I don’t see why you’re correlating a reply to a different thread. The only similarity to them is that I’m happy to change my answer if the numbers stack up. You should try it some time.

My issues with your calculation are only minor ones. You’re using the tariff for cheddar and not for blue; it’s not materially different though. You’re also adding the tariff to the VAT-inclusive price, you need to add it to the net imported price and then add VAT onto the total, so another 20% more.

I could be churlish and say that a difference between your original calculation of 20p, and a revised calculation of (24p + 5p VAT =) 29p is a difference of 45% is way out, but I won’t. I’m probably wrong anyway, my maths is a bit tulip today.

Well I hope the extra tariffs do not reduce the viability of the product so much that the citizens of Beauzac are not disadvantaged.

And with a population of only 2000 I would imagine this cheese is quite important to the region.

It’s a small example, and not even my example. All I’m doing is pointing out that the U.K. is imposing tariffs on food that it imports, so your food prices will probably go up.

Take that example, and use it to examine the other foods that you purchase. Are they manufactured / grown / produced outside of the U.K.? If so, they will probably increase in price.

At the end of the day it’s only a small increase to a contractor, no? Only 10% increase? That’s great that you’ve internalised and accepted a 10% increase in your food. Now what about the people that are JAMs now, and can’t afford an increase? What are you going to do to help them?

So much fake news. If your rea a proper patriotic news site, you'll see what nonsense this all is.

The Guardian’s article is a bit “Fake News” all right.

There’s a focus in it on food price increases in Northern Ireland, when everyone knows that there will be no tariffs collected on any food imported to NI from Ireland and the rest of the EU - the U.K. is not putting up a border....

Ironically, the Remain-voting border counties can just drive into the Republic and pick up their groceries tariff-free.
