Working Tariff Document
The Working Tariff Document of New Zealand (WTD) has been reprinted due to the significant changes introduced under HS2022, which came into effect on 1 January 2022. The reprint also included changes from the adjustment to the excise and excise-equivalent duties on tobacco products to reflect the movement in the Consumer Price Index over the 12-month period ending on 30 September 2021; the inclusion of preferential rates arising from the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP); and the removal of outdated preferential tariff rate phasing and a small number of other technical corrections and realignments of a textual nature.
