But in the second year, under pressure from other WTO members to open up the market farther, Taiwan agreed that imports of rice could exceed the 140,000 metric ton limit but that there would be a tariff of NT $ 45 per kilogram on the excess, thus protecting the market from a flood of low-cost foreign rice. And the consensus is that these high tariffs will continue to be imposed for some time.
但在其他會員國要求市場更開放的壓力下，今年起改採關稅配額制，超過十四萬噸的限量，每公斤將徵收四十五元的關稅，因此外國米尚無法以低價策略搶食市場，預計高關稅措施也將持續一段時間。
