The amendments to the UK DCTS scheme offers Sri Lankan apparel manufacturers duty free access to the UK market.

[Andrew Patrick @AndrewPtkFCDO]

Minister @Chathurangaab joined me in touring Maersk Sri Lanka’s advanced logistics operations. They handle country consolidation operations for several UK brands. With exports expected to expand following latest DCTS reforms, the whole‑economy value chain stands to benefit.

@advocatalk That 2.8 is, I believe the total imports of fabric. This covers both the local requirement and what’s imported for reprocessing for export.

@HENSMAN8888 @ForzenStur @BuhardeenImtiaz Yes agree. Personally I feel they will also end up at the 20% level before the 7th Aug deadline.

@BuhardeenImtiaz Nothing will come down. Pre April we paid MFN only. From April it was MFN + 10% reciprocal. Now it will be MFN + 20% reciprocal

@rangaba @SL_PoliceMedia Happens all the time there. Irony that the driver’s probably there for exercise but can’t be a**ed walking 15m !

[Yohan Lawrence @YohanLawrence3]

@samadsaleem9 @ShardhaSosa If that’s the case then hopefully the increase will be passed onto the consumer

[Yohan Lawrence @YohanLawrence3]

@ShardhaSosa That’s a tough one. For sure (most) brands will look to pass it on to the manufacturers but there’s nothing left to give.

[Yohan Lawrence @YohanLawrence3]

Thanks @advocatalk always a pleasure!

🔴 The Impact of Trump Tariffs on Sri Lanka's Apparel Exports

➡️ The video discusses the critical challenges facing Sri Lanka's apparel export sector, primarily focusing on the significant impact of evolving US tariffs, including an anticipated 30% duty post-August 1st that threatens the industry's competitiveness against countries like Vietnam and India. It also elaborates on how increased tariffs could force brands to absorb costs or raise consumer prices, leading to reduced demand, and highlights the difficulties in diversifying to other markets given the US market's scale and competitors' existing trade advantages.
