ii. liberalizes rules of origin requirements
iii. Simplify the conditions attached to the scheme

The Developing Countries Trading Scheme applies to 65 countries, offering lower tariffs and simpler rules of origin requirements for exporting to the UK. The scheme helps countries to diversify their exports and grow their economies, while British households and businesses benefit from lower prices and more choices.
