Guide to Tariff Quota Tendering

1. Tenderers are to express their bids as an amount per litre (e.g. $1.00 per litre) even though the quotas will be issued on a value basis.

2. Quotas will be allocated to the successful tenderers on the basis of the number of tariff quota allocation sizes. The successful tenderers will receive a duty concession, issued under Reference 99 of Part II of the Customs Tariff, for Tariff headings 2204 and 2205, which will reduce the rate of duty down to the level of the bid plus the relevant rate set out in the New Zealand Tariff. The relevant rates set out in the tariff are:

2204.10.05 $0.17 plus 23.75%
2204.10.09 $1.49 plus 23.75%
2204.10.21 $0.17 plus 23.75%
2204.10.25 $2.33 plus 23.75%
2204.10.29 $1.49 plus 23.75%
2204.21.01 $0.17 plus 23.75%
2204.21.05 $2.33 plus 23.75%
2204.21.09 $1.49 plus 23.75%
2204.29.01 $0.17 plus 23.75%
2204.29.05 $2.33 plus 23.75%

2205.10.21 $0.17 plus 23.75%
2205.10.25 $2.33 plus 23.75%
2205.10.29 $1.49 plus 23.75%
2205.90.21 $0.17 plus 23.75%
2205.90.25 $2.33 plus 23.75%
2205.90.29 $1.49 plus 23.75%

Example: A bid of $1.00 per litre under T.I. 2205.10.29 would mean the concession rate would be $2.49 per litre plus 23.75% of the Customs value.
