Trade overview
Japan is one of the United States' largest and most important trading partners, with a long-standing bilateral trade relationship spanning a wide range of industries. The two countries are parties to the US-Japan Trade Agreement (USJTA), which entered into force in January 2020 and reduced tariffs on select agricultural and industrial goods. Key US imports from Japan include vehicles, auto parts, machinery, and electronics, while Japan imports US agricultural products, aircraft, and pharmaceuticals.
