India FTA Removes 33% Tariff on NZ Sheepmeat
New Zealand’s red meat sector has welcomed the India-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement taking effect, which removes India’s 33% tariff on New Zealand sheepmeat.
Winston Peters is clearly going to use the immigration aspect to his advantage in the election, but this mutt reckons Labour will find it hard to credibly vote against a deal that delivers obvious benefit to our export sector.
Dairy and beef miss out, but that was expected. Sheepmeat however will enjoy zero tariffs on day one, as will nearly 60% of NZ’s exports to India, increasing to 82% over 10 years.
