At long last, 11-member Pacific trade deal takes effect

79. "The participating nations will scrap tariffs on most products."

"Japan, for its part, will eliminate import duties on 95 percent of items." That's from the link in the OP. That would have been good news for US farmers, also software and electronics manufacturers. Cars too. The results of pulling out and getting into a trade war with China instead are becoming ever more apparent as the inevitable recession deepens.

Malaysia: Malaysia hasn't actually ratified the treaty just yet, though it's a signatory, but its migrant worker problem was addressed directly in the original TPP. From the 2015 USTR fact sheet:

ͦ Malaysia. We have worked closely with the Malaysian Government
and stakeholders in the international community to fight trafficking in
persons—and in July 2015, Malaysia passed significant reforms to its
Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrants (ATIPSOM) law
that improves protections and support for victims of trafficking. TPP
requires that these legal reforms be supported by additional legal and
institutional reforms to protect migrant workers’ rights and strengthen
the enforcement of Malaysia’s laws.

More details at the link. Whether all the human rights provisions remain I don't know, but the OP article says Malaysia "signed the CPTPP, a revised version, after suspending some provisions in the original agreement." So our pulling out didn't accomplish much in that department.
