The China–Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) entered into force on 20 December 2015. ChAFTA is delivering enormous benefits to Australia, enhancing our competitive position in the Chinese market, boosting economic growth and creating jobs.

The agreement unlocks significant opportunities for Australia in China, which is Australia's largest export market for goods and services, accounting for nearly a third of total exports¹, and a steady source of foreign investment.
