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.

Exports from North Folk island to the USA are tariffed at 29%. Total export to USA from there is $413,000 in 2023.
Exports from Heard Island and McDonald Islands to the USA are tariffed at 10%. Figures shown that the 2022 total export to USA from there is $2.23million in machinery and electrical equipment, despite that there are no human habitation and there are no buildings.
It's just a random number generator....

🌊 🐧 Australia to protect 52% of its marine territory 🐧🌊
#Australia just declared that it will expand the #HeardIsland and #McDonaldIslands Marine Reserve by over 300,000 square kilometers in the sub-Antarctic. This move brings Australia’s protected ocean territory to an amazing 52%, far beyond the global 30% goal by 2030!
While the move is a great step for #OceanConservation, it falls short in some ways.

"the #HeardIsland and #McDonaldIslands Marine Reserve about 4,000 km south-west of #Perth would quadruple in size... Located about 1,700 km from #Antarctica, Heard and McDonald Islands are home to #glaciers, #wetlands and Australia’s only active #volcanoes. Scientists say they are one of the places on the planet least disturbed by humans."
