    Granny, so far as I recall, it's anything and everything that goes into it - so yes, for a car it's right down to the metal.

    The amount of non-UK bits and bobs that you can use and still describe the finished item as being of UK origin is usually limited by value - below an agreed percentage of the value of the finished item and you're OK, go above and you can't claim the finished item is UK in origin. So if, for example, you're planning on making mahogany tables in the UK and exporting them, you're going to have to watch the value of the wood you import, compared with the cost of the carpentry, varnish and so on.

    At the moment, Rest of World countries treat EU components in UK products as being of UK origin themselves; the British Chambers of Commerce are keen to hear (from Liz Truss presumably) whether that will still be the case next year.
