Australia – Malaysia Free Trade Agreement
There are three Free Trade Agreements [FTA] between Australia and Malaysia; 1) the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), 2) the Malaysia-Australia Free Trade Agreement (MAFTA) and 3) the Agreement Establishing the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Area (AANZFTA).
For Australian importers, MAFTA has a number of significant advantages. For example, the FTA eliminates tariffs on almost all exports from Malaysia to Australia. This means that Malaysian goods can now arrive into Australia with significantly lower costs than before. Tariffs on 99% of Australian exports to Malaysia were eliminated when the agreement came into effect in 2014.
For Australian exporters, MAFTA also provides similar opportunities; under MAFTA tariffs on almost all exports from Australia to Malaysia have been eliminated – making it easier and cheaper to export Australian goods to a rapidly growing market with over 30 million people.
