Original Note:
Japan uses a quota system, with government imports below the quota being free. In 2022, 87% of the quota was filled, which was 99.9% of all rice imports. The other 0.1% were taxed at ¥341/kg, or about 204%. https://financialpost.com/pmn/business-pmn/us-lambasts-japans-700-rice-tariff-hinting-at-levy-target https://www.reuters.com/world/japan/japan-says-it-is-leaving-all-options-open-against-trumps-tariffs-2025-04-03/
