Tonga - Customs and duties

Tonga has a single-column tariff based on the Customs Cooperation Council Nomenclature with custom duties ranging from 30–65% of the CIF (cost, insurance, and freight). A 20% port and services tax is involved in the percentages. Tariffs are applied to most private sector imports, primarily for revenue purposes. Higher tariffs apply to cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, and petroleum, while public sector goods are exempt.
