Brown-Forman issued this statement regarding the tariff
agreement announced today.
“Brown-Forman commends the Biden Administration for today’s
tariff agreement with the United Kingdom. As a result of the
agreement, American whiskey will again enjoy tariff-free trade
between the U.S. and the U.K. as of June 1, 2022. Today’s
announcement follows the removal of the EU’s tariff on American
whiskey on January 1, 2022.
“We would like to thank Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo,
Ambassador Katherine Tai, U.K. Secretary of State for International
Trade Anne-Marie Trevelyan, U.K. International Trade Minister Penny
Mordaunt, U.K. Ambassador to the U.S. Karen Pierce, and their
teams, as well as lawmakers in the U.S. and in the U.K. for their
efforts to achieve this positive outcome.
“As the leading producer of American whiskey, Brown-Forman
appreciates the Administration’s unwavering commitment to
rebuilding the Transatlantic alliance. The removal of tariffs on
American whiskey and other U.S. exports creates more opportunities
for the continued international growth of our American-made
products.”
