Just because it has 'California' in the name 'California Almonds' doesn't mean that California has inked any trade treaties, any more than the Champagne region of France is the entity that enforces it's branding issues on sparkling white wine.

Similarly, the page you've linked to there is other countries' import duties on the product - the table column's title is even "Import to Country".

Even if the page said what you think it does - I'm from Australia, which is on the list. I'm really interested to see if you can show me the trade agreement California seems to have individually inked with my nation. I don't think it exists, but you apparently do - please reference the law.



They can't present such a law because it's explicitly prohibited by the US constitution, Article 1 Section 8.


And not all states are the 50 U.S. A German state is not bound by our constitution. They have the right to enter international trade agreements.


Can't fix stupid.
