Pakistan: Pakistan Increases Tariff on Milk Powder Imports
Pakistan has increased its effective import tariff on imports of milk powder and whey powder from 20 to 45 percent with the imposition of a 25 percent “regulatory duty.” Regulatory duties are designed to inhibit or block the flow of imports and are generally temporary. It is not clear how long the duty will be in place. The Government of Pakistan also took steps to roll back certain tax rebates that benefit milk processors.
