New Zealand Butter Dump Duty Levied by Canada
Vancouver reports a 40 cent dump duty on 38 000 boxes of New Zealand butter aboard the Niagara arriving October 11. The duty, plus a 1 cent treaty tariff, adds roughly 16 000 to the shipment valued at 2 000 000 pounds, due to invoice prices missing the New Zealand market price. Canadian officials and local importers say the new rule allows extra duty to reflect price differences, and future valuations will use the fair market price in New Zealand on shipment day to avoid in transit market changes.
