All imports into Fiji are subject to classification by the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service, and rates of duty vary with the type of goods.  Imports are subject to import duty (fiscal duties, excise duties, and VAT), which is levied in accordance with rates outlined in the schedule of customs tariffs.  Duty at a higher rate is generally levied on vehicles, snacks and confectionaries, tobacco, liquor, beer, and wines.  The Fiji government recently announced a reduction in fiscal duties and excise duties for several items including chicken portions, imported beef, prawns, ducks, corned beef/lamb, and canned mackerel to help increase the local supply
