Japan Is Thinking Of Lowering Safety Standards For US Automakers
Japan is considering revising its car safety criteria in order to reach a trade agreement with the United States, Japanese business newspaper Nikkei reported on Sunday. American car manufacturers have long complained that the strict safety standards are hampering access to the Japanese market.
The government in Tokyo believes there is room to relax certain safety criteria. This concerns, for example, the crash safety tests, Nikkei writes. The newspaper’s report follows negotiations between Japan and the US that started last week.
Japanese car manufacturers, like other countries, have to pay a 25 percent import duty if they want to import cars into the US. In addition, US President Donald Trump has imposed a general import duty of 24 percent on the country, which has now been temporarily reduced to 10 percent. With the negotiations, Tokyo wants to permanently reduce that rate.
