“The measure, which is part of the package of support announced by the Prime Minister following his visit to Kyiv, will take effect from July 4. It follows similar actions by our international partners, such as the European Union, and the United Kingdom. The elimination of tariffs on imports into Australia from Ukraine is a key part of the Australian Government’s ongoing efforts to further deepen our bilateral trade and investment relationship.”
It is noted that these kinds of measures by Australia and other international partners that support Ukraine’s economy and expand trade opportunities are vital to Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction in the short and long term.
In 2021, Ukrainian imports to Australia amounted to about 122 million Australian dollars ($83 million).
Tariffs for goods produced in Ukraine are reduced from 5% to zero, the reduced rate will be valid for 12 months.
