Kenyan flowers to be exported to the UK tariff-free » Capital News

NAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 11 – Kenyan flowers are set to be exported to the United Kingdom tariff-free from Thursday.

According to the British High Commission, this will also apply to flowers transiting via a third country.

The Commission stated that the move aims to increase trade and further strengthen the economic relationship between the UK and the region.

“The UK’s relationship with East Africa is rooted in mutually beneficial trade. This
additional flower power will allow trade to bloom. We go far when we go together…
or in this case, we grow far when we grow together, further reinforcing the UK’s
commitment to the expansion of trade in East Africa,” the UK Trade Commissioner for Africa, John Humphrey said.

The duty suspension will remain in place for two years from 11 April 2024 to
30 June 2026.
