New Zealand and 14 other Asia Pacific countries have just signed up to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. RCEP .
It will dramatically reduce tariffs on many goods and create consistent trade rules.
The BBC's Katie Austen says it will provide immediate benefits to involved countries - and will ultimately lower prices worldwide.
She says the agreement is so large, it will have flow-on effects for the EU and United States as well.
