Our Government is asking the US for more details on its new import rules for New Zealand. 

Donald Trump's announced 10% tariffs on almost all goods entering the country from around the world – including New Zealand. 

Many countries face much higher tariffs, with goods from China being hit by a combined 54% levy. 

Trade Minister Todd McClay has confirmed officials are still seeking information.
