Not necessarily. Most international trade deals are based to a greater or lesser extent on mutual recognition of standards rather than agreement of a common standard, or one side adopting the other’s. It’s possible that import of products may be tariff free *if* they comply with UK standards but it’s more likely that the mutual recognition route has been taken.
