Oct. 2, 2023Almendras/Turquía: importaciones caerían a 50 mil toneladas en 2023/24
Almond imports for MY 2023/24 are forecast a bit lower from the previous year’s revised number at 50,000 MT. The MY 2022/2023 import estimate is revised upward based on the latest trade statistics to 55,000 MT. With demand expected to outstrip domestic almond supplies, Turkiye is expected to remain a net importer of almonds in MY 2023/24, with the United States as its top supplier.
Other countries supplying almonds to Turkiye, include Australia, Iran, Chile, and Spain.
There are several taxes on imported almonds, including the MFN import duty, a minimum reference price, and additional financial responsibility tax. No import taxes are levied for almonds imported under the Inward Processing Regime (IPR) for processing (e.g., shelling, packaging) and re-export.
The MFN import duty on imported almonds is 2 percent. However, imports of U.S. almonds face an additional 10 percent retaliatory duty, which was imposed in response to U.S. Section 232 tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum. The combined import tariff on U.S. almonds is 12 percent of the cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) value of the shipment. The MFN import tariff is zero for almonds from countries with which Turkiye has a free trade agreement (FTA), such as Chile.
