A Commonwealth Tariff Advantage for Canadian OEMs and Industrial Clients

Cost-Effective Metal Components from New Zealand & India.

Canada applies Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff rates to India, meaning most industrial metal components and machinery parts enter Canada at low or zero duty — a significant advantage compared with U.S.-sourced parts exposed to changing tariff cycles.

Malabou, a New Zealand company with a wholly owned Indian subsidiary, offers Canadian buyers a dependable option backed by engineering oversight, ISO-certified production, and the efficiencies of India’s industrial sector — strengthened by long-standing Commonwealth links that streamline collaboration.
