Glass import tariff increase

The brewery said that the new glass import tariff will increase the price of wine, beer and other food and beverage industry glass packaging. The new tariff is to encourage companies to purchase local glass, but the brewery has expressed dissatisfaction because many wineries have signed long-term contracts. Lyn Mayes from the Glass Packaging Forum told ONE News that tariffs are something left over from the old era. They were previously used in a certain field. Now, the government has begun to implement this policy. No one can imagine that tariffs will be imposed again. The government said: At present, they will not review this policy until 2015.
