Japan apple juice and orange juice quota

The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment manages 8 Japan quotas, including apple juice and orange juice. These quotas were put in place by the Japan–Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA).

Australian exporters can export up to 1,600 tonnes of apple juice and 1,300 tonnes of orange juice at reduced tariff rates through these quotas.

Access to the quotas is on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis until the available quota amount has been exhausted.

Exporters can use the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade tariff portal to find the current tariff rate applying to their product and to compare the tariff reduction received under both the JAEPA and the CPTPP agreements.

Key dates to remember

  • 10 March—Department accepts applications for the new quota year
  • 1 April—New quota year commences
  • 31 March—Quota year ends

Current quota usage

The quota usage tables show the total quantity of quota used by Australia for JAEPA products. The tables are updated regularly.

Check out the current quota usage for Japan apple juice and orange juice.

Apply for a JAEPA quota certificate for apple juice or orange juice

To receive a quota certificate for a consignment of apple juice or orange juice to Japan you will need to:

  • complete the JAEPA quota application form
  • email your completed form to the Quota Unit.

To complete your application you may need to refer to the eligible AHECC codes.

Once the application is approved, the Quota Unit will email the quota certificate directly to the email address provided on the application form.

JAEPA certificates cannot be amended so if there is a change to the exporter, importer, product type or quantity of your consignment the original certificate will be cancelled and a new certificate will be issued and emailed.

Note: Quota administration is cost recovered on a per certificate basis in accordance with the Export Charges (Imposition-General) Regulation 2021 and the Export Control (Fees and Payments) Rules 2021. Exporters are invoiced monthly for any quota certificates issued. The current cost recovered amount is $81 per certificate issued.

Historical quota usage

These tables show how the JAEPA quotas have filled in previous years.

Legislation

The Export Control (Tariff Rate Quotas-General) Rules 2021 govern the rules around quota administration for apple juice and orange juice, which are defined as non-prescribed goods. Exporters should be familiar with these rules.

Background to JAEPA

JAEPA eliminates or reduces barriers to trade in goods between Japan and Australia. JAEPA entered into force on 15 January 2015.

Data collection

The Quota Unit collects and manages the data presented on this website for commercial and government use.
