New Zealand exporters are in the firing line, as tariffs of at least 10% are now being imposed on almost all goods. 

The US surpassed Australia as our second largest export destination for beef last year due to a sharp rise in meat exports. 

There鈥檚 billions of dollars' worth of trade in the sector, as the United States is unable to meet their consumption demand with their domestic production.
