Swa Outlines Post-Brexit Possibilities

The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) has set out the potential consequences of Brexit for scotch and what action the industry wants to see from governments. It said: "We can be confident certain things will not change. Scotch will not face a tariff on exports to the EU - 0% is the current EU tariff and World Trade Organisation rules mean it will not change." It added that in many markets, scotch would continue to benefit from existing zero tariffs, and in markets that already demand high tariffs Brexit will not make the situation any worse.
