Policy InstrumentImport tariff

DescriptionRenewed the import duty remission on semi/wholly-milled rice for an additional year. Accordingly, semi/wholly-milled rice would continue to accrue an import duty of 45 percent (or USD 345 per tonne, whichever is higher) until 30 June 2023, instead of the 75 percent tariff (or USD 345 per tonne, whichever is higher) that it would accrue under the Common External Tariff of the East African Community. In addition, it decided that imports of broken rice used as inputs by Rwandan manufacturers would have a 0 percent duty rate levied for one year, effective 1 July 2022.
