  • The trade release has no HS codes, so lines carry the Statistics Office's own group names; catch-all lines of 650 New Zealand dollars are not ranked. Source⁠ (opens in a new tab)
  • Re-exports were 97 percent of 2024 exports and re-exported aviation fuel alone was 92.1 percent; check the origin of a line before you present it as made in Niue. Source⁠ (opens in a new tab)
  • The 2024 release restates 2023 exports as 1,968,553 New Zealand dollars; the 2022 and 2023 release gave 2,012,423, so earlier releases do not compare directly. Source⁠ (opens in a new tab)
  • The 2023 noni juice value of 42,887 comes from the domestic export table; the HS group table shows 43,870, which repeats 2024 and breaks the 2023 total. Source⁠ (opens in a new tab)

  • South Pacific Regional Trade and Economic Co-operation Agreement (SPARTECA)

    Australia gives preferential duty treatment to qualifying goods produced or manufactured in Niue, without Niue cutting its own tariffs.

    Non-reciprocal preference with origin rules; the New Zealand side was not read, so confirm its terms with New Zealand Customs.
