Policy InstrumentImport tariff

DescriptionRenewed the exemption of the Common External Tariff (CET) of the East African Community on rice imports for an additional year. As such, imports of paddy, husked, semi/wholly milled and broken rice would continue to accrue a 35 percent import tariff (or USD 200 per tonne, whichever is higher), rather than the 75 percent tariff (or USD 345 per tonne) that they would accrue under the CET.
