Potential Impacts on New Zealand of Tariff Liberalisation under AANZFTA Sample Clauses

Potential Impacts on New Zealand of Tariff Liberalisation under AANZFTA. In broad terms, New Zealand’s commitments on tariff liberalisation follows a similar structure to the commitments of Australia and ASEAN countries, with 90 percent of tariff lines contained in a “normal track” (with elimination between entry into force and 2012) and 10 percent of lines in a “sensitive track” with tariffs to be eliminated between 2013 and 2020. The most significant years for tariff elimination are entry into force (80 percent of lines), 2010 (a further 5 percent of lines), 2012 (another 5 percent of lines), 2017 (6 percent of lines), 2020 (4 percent of lines). Tariffs on a small number of tariff lines are eliminated each year between 2013 and 2019. The structure of the New Zealand offer and the effect on Indonesian, Malaysian, Philippine and Vietnamese trade is set out in Table 16 below.

In fact, because of New Zealand’s scheduled unilateral tariff cuts, New Zealand’s actual current applied tariffs on many lines are likely to already be below the AANZFTA commitment for most of the implementation period. However, all New Zealand rates will eventually reduce to zero...
