·Economic Times·Impact 4/5 · High
MeridStreet AI summary

The Indian government has notified a tariff quota for imports of fruits and honey from New Zealand. This quota allows for zero customs duty on certain kiwifruit imports, provided they meet a minimum value of $1.80 per kilogram. The quota also permits 40 tonnes of New Zealand-certified Manuka honey to be imported in 2026, with the annual limit increasing to 200 tonnes from 2027. This move is likely to boost trade between India and New Zealand, benefiting both countries' economies.

Why it matters

The tariff quota notification will increase New Zealand's fruit and honey exports to India. This is because the zero customs duty under the TRQ will make New Zealand's products more competitive in the Indian market.
