Australia is an open market with minimal restrictions on imports of goods and services. The process of opening has increased productivity, stimulated growth, and made the economy more flexible and dynamic. The U.S. – Australia Free Trade Agreement provides some advantages for U.S. products, which are well regarded as high quality with good value.
