In my latest for @FTAlphaville, I discuss why the new Trump tariff measures are a recipe for … crime!
(Yes, I’m writing about rules of origin again.)

Who could have predicted this? Incoming Section 301 tariffs on EU will add up, roughly, to 15% - as was the case previously. But there's another 301 probe coming along soon. So what then? Reactions and analysis w/ @berndlange and @SamuelMarcLowe borderlex.net/2026/06/03/bru…

The UK risks being the biggest loser from Trump’s new 15% global tariff
“We have no clarity on whether the 10% tariff agreed will be honoured… until and unless the US gives a steer, we’ve got to assume it’s 15%,” says @SamuelMarcLowe

We’ve just heard from Sam Lowe of @FlintGlobal , who unpacked the global trends and trade policy interventions reshaping our industry.
His personable and insightful delivery highlighted several key considerations for UK agriculture including:
🟣 Increasing complexity of tariffs and origin rules
🟣 Monitoring of trade flows
🟣 Gradual UK-EU negotiations
🟣 Competitive positioning from new EU trade deals
🟣 Early introduction of EU’s CBAM
These developments present both challenges and opportunities for the sector as we navigate an evolving global trade landscape.

Chatting trade with @SamuelMarcLowe at the absolutely popping @FlintGlobal Brussels anniversary party.
Very often, navigating global trade is a case of listening to the right people - there are few better to listen to than Sam!

Hah! FAFO...
Sam Lowe really does do a good job of making these things not just accessible, but (improbably) entertaining too.

Donald Trump has threatened tariffs as high as 200% on pharmaceuticals.
In our latest blog, Flint trade experts @SamuelMarcLowe, George Riddell and William Haworth set out the potential cost to businesses and the key issues they will need to monitor.

Excellent look at the Trump tariff regime's vast (and insane) complexity - and how it's burdening American companies
"Importers are struggling more today with understanding the rules than they are with paying the tariffs.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

A "simple" example from @SamuelMarcLowe of how ridiculously complex the US tariff system has become in just the last few months:

In my latest for @FTAlphaville I take a look at why complex US tariffs is just as problematic as high US tariffs, through the medium of Belgian beer.
