Overall, it is clear that the value of trade with the USA remained relatively constant, while the value of exports and imports to and from Japan and China fluctuated significantly over the period.
In 2004, imports from the USA were valued at 10 billion Australian dollars, rising slightly to 11 billion dollars by 2009. The value of exports was considerably higher, at around 30 billion dollars throughout the period.
In contrast, imports from Japan had a higher value than exports to that country. From a value of about 19 billion dollars in 2004, there was then an increase to reach a peak of 40 billion dollars in 2008, before falling to 31 billion dollars at the end of the period. Exports to Japan fluctuated slightly between 10 billion dollars in 2004 and 14 billion dollars in 2009.
The value of imports from China increased from 11 billion to 40 billion dollars over the period, overtaking the value of exports to that country. However, the export trade also saw an increase, rising to 31 billion dollars in 2009.
