The correct answer is importation rules and tariffs. This is because in offshoring some of the manufacturing will be done in another country then shipped back to the UK. The products will have to go through customs so may be subject to tariffs and duties.
Steff's not exporting anything in the scenario and paying electronically and getting lower costs are not RISKS.

Payments by electronic bank transfer seem less risky, but I guess there could be issues with fraud or delays. I should probably review that topic again.

Lower operating costs sound appealing, but I feel like there could be hidden risks associated with that. I need to think more about what those might be.

Lower operating costs are definitely a potential benefit of offshoring, but that's not a risk. I think the answer has to be either A or B - the rules and regulations around moving goods across borders.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know offshoring can involve some tricky regulations, but I'm not sure which specific risks are most relevant here. I'll have to think it through.

Okay, I've got this. The key risk Steff should consider is the importation and exportation rules and tariffs. That's a major factor when moving manufacturing overseas.

Okay, let me see. I'm pretty confident it's not A or C, since those don't seem to match the description of the baseline normal. I'm leaning towards D, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the key elements they're looking for in a complete service definition. I'll need to carefully review the details about what the BRMs are trying to achieve.
