Import tariff
Description
Raised tariffs on non-basmati husked rice imported outside of existing trade agreements, given that total imports of these classes during the first half of the 2018/19 marketing year (September-August) exceeded the 258 565-tonne threshold that triggers a higher import duty. Accordingly, import tariffs on these classes of rice would pass from EUR 30 (USD 34) to EUR 65 (USD 73) per tonne, effective from 8 March 2019.
Notes
Exchange rate as of 15 April 2019.
