The two line graphs illustrate New Zealand's imports from Australia and Japan between 1994 and 2004. Overall, it is evident that New Zealand's import value from Australia exhibited a notable upward trend, reaching the highest point, despite some fluctuations. By contrast, the figure for imports from Japan rose initially before declining substantially after 2000. Furthermore, Australia's imports were the most prevalent of imports in most years. Regarding the initial, imports from Australia stood at just under NZ$4,000 million, which was NZ$1,000 million higher than the figure for Japan. Examining the overall trend, imports from Australia experienced considerable fluctuations throughout the period but showed a notable upward trend. After reaching around NZ$6,500 million in 1996, Australia's imports saw a significant decrease to NZ$3,000 million in 1999 before rebounding sharply to approximately NZ$7,500 million in 2001. Although New Zealand import figures from Australia saw a modest decline to under NZ$5,000 million in 2002, that of Australia increased significantly to NZ$8,000 million at the end of the period. Meanwhile, imports from Japan followed an overall downward trend despite several fluctuations. The figure for Japan witnessed a notable rise to a peak of NZ$6,200 million in 1997 after declining marginally to just over NZ$4,000 million in 1999, and then slightly grew to NZ$6,000 million in 2000. Japan's imports underwent a substantial drop in import value, with its figure decreasing sharply to NZ$2,000 million by the end of the period.
