Remove the high tariffs of the island confusing: « Must become wrong »
White House has published A long list Above all customs duties that apply to goods imported from 185 countries and territories all over the world. There are, among others, China, the EU and Japan – as well as Volkanön Norfolk Island, with just over 2,000 inhabitants.
Admittedly, seeds from Kentia-Palmer are shipped worth almost SEK 10 million from the Norfolkön, mostly to Europe. But the message about customs was nevertheless met by surprise on the island between New Zealand and New Caledonia, where most people live on tourism.
– Norfolkön is a small dot in the world, says Richard Cottleby.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Comments the customs with the country as a whole to escape well, with 10 percent, compared to, for example, the EU and China. However, he cannot explain why the Norfolk gender ends up at a higher level.
– The last time I checked, Norfolkön was part of Australia, he tells ABC News, adding that these separate customs against individual islands were « unexpected and a little strange ».
Gye Duncan, who drives a Tax consulting firm on the island, estimates that the customs still have no effect as it is hardly exported anything to the United States.
– They probably don’t even know where the Norwegian island is. It must have been something wrong, he tells Reuters.
The list also includes Australian Heard and McDonali islands, which have no residents. They are still covered with 10 percent customs, writes Politicoeven though there only live penguins.
According to the White House, the small islands are on the list because they are Australian territories, Politico writes.
Also listed, the Norwegian Islands Svalbard and Jan Mayen, who are covered by customs at 10 percent, are made, while customs against Norway are 15 percent.
