The US and Japan have reached an agreement on a trade deal, through which Japan will eliminate or lower tariffs for certain US agricultural products. For other traded crops, Japan will provide preferential US-specific quotas. The Office of the US Trade Representative has stated that once the agreement is implemented, over 90 percent of US food and agricultural products imported into Japan will either be duty-free or will receive preferential tariff access.
