Recently, the 2017 tariff adjustment program formally introduced, international fruit and vegetable industry verification , fresh or dried avocado will continue to enjoy from 2016 began to develop 10% (formerly 25%) the MFN tariff rate. The blueberry tax rate will be reduced from the original 30% to 15%.
Nearly two tax adjustments to benefit the biggest Mexico and canada. As far as avocado is concerned, other exporting countries, such as Chile and Peru, have signed a free trade agreement with China to enjoy zero tariff and only pay a 13% vat. After the adjustment, Mexico exports avocado to China's comprehensive tax rate of 24.3%, higher than Chile and Peru, the price pressure eased somewhat, can better participate in market competition in the market of 11.3%. I believe this good news will further promote Mexico avocado lose china.
In terms of blueberries, the domestic blueberry market potential, but access to imported blueberry origin only Chile and canada. From the price point of view, Canadian blueberries do not dominate. Skim higher labor costs do not say, Canadian blueberry comprehensive tax rate of 46.9%, while Chilean blueberry is only about 13%. Coupled with domestic blueberry competition, Canadian blueberry market share has always been poor. The reduction of tariffs to 15% believe can greatly reduce the importer's import costs, increase the competitiveness of Canadian blueberries.
