Policy InstrumentImport tariff

DescriptionRenewed the exemption of the Common External Tariff (CET) of the East African Community on rice imports until 30 June 2020. Accordingly, imports of paddy, husked, semi/wholly milled rice and broken rice will continue to accrue a 35 percent import tariff (or USD 200 per tonne, whichever is higher), instead of the 75 percent tariff (or USD 345 per metric tonne) they would accrue under the CET.
