Expand globally with Canada’s free trade agreements

Canada’s free trade agreements (FTAs) can help your business reach new customers, lower costs, and grow internationally. We can help you understand which agreements may apply to your target markets and how to use them.

FTAs make international business easier and more predictable. They can help you:

• lower costs through reduced or eliminated tariffs 
• reach new customers in more markets 
• strengthen your position in markets where Canada has a trade agreement
• reduce risk through clearer and more predictable rules 
• move goods more easily across borders 
• access supply chains more easily 
• diversify your exports and reduce reliance on a single market

Whether you sell goods or services, an FTA may give you an advantage over your competition in markets where Canada has a trade agreement in place.

Canada’s free trade agreements are not all at the same stage. Some are already in force, while others are signed, concluded, or still under negotiation.
