Japan will provide preferential dairy access to the European Union (EU), New Zealand and Australia through two separate free trade agreements which could enter into force as early as 2019. Dairy products such as cheese, butter, nonfat dry milk, whey, milk albumin and lactose will be subject to reduced or eliminated tariffs and preferential tariff-rate quotas. The EU, New Zealand, Australia and the United States are currently the top four dairy suppliers to Japan. In 2017, Japan imported $300 million in dairy products from the United States.
