That's how the volcanic Australian territory of #HeardIsland & #McDonaldIslands in the #Antarctic ended up with a 10% tariff. The #penguins got off lightly, you might say.
But #Madagascar - one of the poorest nations in the world w/GDP per capita of just over $500 - meanwhile faces a 47% tariff on the modest $733M of exports of vanilla, metals & apparel that it did with the US last year.

Located about 1,700 km from #Antarctica, Heard and McDonald Islands are home to #glaciers, #wetlands and Australia’s only active #volcanoes.
