Latest Agreement gives New Zealand wine tariff-free access to Taiwan
New Zealand Winegrowers welcomes the signing of the Agreement between New Zealand and the Separate Customs Territory of
Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu on Economic Cooperation (ANZTEC). The Agreement will give New Zealand wine tariff-free
access to the Taiwan market as soon as it comes into force.
“This is an important trade advantage for New Zealand wine exporters. Taiwan is a small but developed market that is
well suited to the premium wine styles that New Zealand offers. Asia is an increasingly important destination for New
Zealand wines. This Agreement will make New Zealand the only wine exporter with tariff-free access to China, Hong Kong
and Taiwan.” said Dr John Barker, general manager advocacy and trade for New Zealand Winegrowers.
