For example ... from what I heard tonight ... Japan currently whacks about 38% tariff on NZ beef. That will reduce to 9% over a few years.
A possibilty of 9 percent over 15 years
Nz is zero percent
As the australian market stands atm
Aussie beef is popular here more so than nz
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Premier Tony Abbott signed the accord in July, under which Japan agreed to gradually lower tariffs on Australian chilled beef to 23.5 percent over 15 years from 38.5 percent. They’re currently at 31.5 percent after two rounds of cuts. Duties on frozen beef will be halved to 19.5 percent over 18 years.
