Summary of chapter

Australia and the United States agreed to eliminate customs
duties on all goods from the other Party. Duties became
zero for more than 97 percent of Australia's non-agricultural
exports to the United States (excluding textiles and clothing)
on day one of the Agreement. All tariffs will be zero by
2015.

anti-dumping and countervailing action, in the event of unfair
trade or injury to particular industries. Both countries
have retained the right to regulate the import and export of
