9.2 Trans-Tasman Trade Agreement

CER is a series of agreements and arrangements that began with the entry into force on 1 January 1983 of the New Zealand Australia Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement. Total free trade in goods was achieved by 1990 (five years ahead of schedule) with the elimination of all tariffs and quantitative restrictions. The Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Agreement of goods (and occupations) means that goods that are acceptable for sale in one jurisdiction can legally be sold anywhere in Australia and New Zealand.
