2. What to look into next

Our reading

  • The research marks bottled water, medicinal and aromatic plants and bakery products as lines a small or mid-sized company could be in. If yours is one, check which markets buy that line, not only Fiji’s top destinations overall.

    Source: UN Comtrade, Fiji exports by product, 2025⁠ (opens in a new tab) · as of October 30, 2026

    Based on: Top goods exports

  • Bakery products grew 126% from 2024 to 2025; medicinal and aromatic plants grew 46% from 2024 to 2025. A growing line can mean buyers are looking for more; confirm it with that line’s buyers before you plan around it.

3. Trade agreements

What each arrangement can mean for a seller, and its limits. A preference is conditional: check the rules of origin before you quote.

  • Pacific-European Union Interim Economic Partnership Agreement

    A seller can ship goods to the European Union duty-free and quota-free, and Fiji phases in its own tariff cuts, opening 87 percent of European Union imports over 15 years.

    As of October 30, 2026, origin is proved with a EUR.1 from FRCS or an origin declaration, which needs an approved exporter above €6,000, per Access2Markets.

    Source: European Commission, Pacific interim partnership agreement page, October 2026⁠ (opens in a new tab) · as of October 14, 2026

  • United Kingdom-Pacific States Economic Partnership Agreement

    A seller can export to the United Kingdom under the interim partnership agreement, which gives duty-free, quota-free access to goods from the Pacific States.

    Rules-based preference; the GOV.UK page gives no Fiji entry-into-force date, so the date is blank.

    Source: GOV.UK, trade with the Pacific States, read October 2026⁠ (opens in a new tab) · as of October 30, 2026

  • Pacific Island Countries Trade Agreement (PICTA)

    A seller can ship goods to other signatories with tariffs removed on most goods, claimed with the PICTA Form FIC1 from FRCS.

    As of the FRCS page of July 28, 2025, Fiji issues PICTA Form FIC1; 40 percent local content applies, and alcohol and tobacco are excluded.

  • Melanesian Spearhead Group Trade Agreement (MSGTA)

    A seller can ship goods to Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu at preferential duty rates, claimed with MSG Form A from FRCS.

    As of the FRCS page of July 28, 2025, beverages, spirits, vinegar, tobacco, mineral fuels and cane sugar are excepted; whether it means the third revision is not confirmed.

  • South Pacific Regional Trade and Economic Co-operation Agreement (SPARTECA)

    A seller can ship goods that Fiji produces or manufactures to Australia and New Zealand at preferential customs duty rates.

    Non-reciprocal preference, as of Australian Border Force's page of October 20, 2026; check the importing customs service for proof of origin.

  • Pacific Agreement on Closer Economic Relations Plus (PACER Plus)

    Fiji is not on the PACER Plus list of ten Parties, so a Fijian seller cannot claim its preferences.

    As of October 30, 2026, the PACER Plus parties page lists ten parties without Fiji; SPARTECA still covers Fiji's goods in Australia and New Zealand.

  • United Kingdom's Developing Countries Trading Scheme

    Fiji does not appear on the scheme page, so a seller sending goods to the United Kingdom relies on the Pacific partnership agreement.

    As of October 30, 2026, Fiji is not on the GOV.UK preference tier lists; it trades with the United Kingdom under the Pacific States agreement.
