The Finance Minister says the Government is still looking to alleviate the impact of the US' tariffs on New Zealand.

New Zealand's current rate is at 10 percent - in line with a majority of other countries.

Nicola Willis says officials are determined to engage with their American counterparts to work out a solution.

"We're pointing out that our tariff regime is very limited towards the US...we have very few non-trade barriers and as far as possible - we'd like to grow the trade between our two countries, so we'd prefer no tariff."
