Australia is one of our most important economic partners. New Zealand and Australia have made good progress to remove trade barriers.
Trade agreements and closer economic partnerships are an important part of New Zealand's international trade policy. We use trade agreements and closer economic partnerships to liberalise trade.
We hold responsibilities relating to trade, including technical barriers to trade, import tariffs, trade remedies, competition, intellectual property and government procurement. This work makes it easier for New Zealand exporters to trade with other countries, maintains fair market competition, and ensures that products imported into New Zealand are safe.
