JAAF welcomes UK's liberalised trade rules of origin for apparel exports

Daily FT

|

August 20, 2025

THE Joint Apparel Association Forum (JAAF) said yesterday that it warmly welcomed the UK Government's announcement of liberalised rules of origin under the Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS), which will come into effect in early 2026.

The reforms will allow Sri Lankan manufacturers to source up to 100% of inputs for garments from any country worldwide while continuing to enjoy tariff-free access to the UK market. "This represents a significant upgrade to existing trade arrangements, reducing restrictions on processing and aligning Sri Lanka's apparel sector with the same rules available to countries enjoying Comprehensive Preferences under the DCTS," JAAF said in a statement.

It said that the UK remains one of Sri Lanka's most important export destinations for apparel.
