The two line graphs below show New Zealand import figures from Australia and Japan in the years 1994 - 2004.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The line graphs represent the change in import figures in New Zealand from
Australia
and
Japan
over a decade from 1994 to 2004. Looking at the details,
imports
from
Australia
were higher than those from
Japan
at the beginning of the period. Despite falling sharply to NZ$ 3000 million, the number of goods bought from
Australia
plunged in 1999. After that,
imports
from abroad reached a plateau by doubling their starting value, which was closer to NZ$ 4000 million.
By contrast
,
imports
from
Japan
finished slightly lower than they started. The variation in
imports
showed two clear peaks in 1997 and 2000, the former having the highest value, which is closer to NZ$ 6250 million. It is interesting to note that
at the end
of the period,
imports
from
Australia
were four times higher than those from
Japan
. The reason for
this
huge gap might have been the trade agreements with these two countries at the beginning of the 21st century.
Overall
, it is clear from the plots that
imports
from both countries fluctuated over the given period of years.
