  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Japan’s free trade agreement with the European Union (EU) and Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) will reduce tariffs for a wide range of products including vegetables from suppliers that compete with U.S. exports of vegetable products to Japan. Both agreements could enter into force in 2019. Japan will reduce or eliminate duties on fresh vegetables under various schedules for CPTPP and EU countries. In 2017, Japan imported $2.5 billion of fresh horticultural products, 9.8 percent of which was from the United States.
