Trade Problems & Barriers: Trade Problems

What do all of these Free Trade Agreements do for me?
Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) can help your company to enter and compete more easily in the global marketplace. Trade agreements help level the international playing field and encourage foreign governments to adopt open and transparent rulemaking procedures, as well as non-discriminatory laws and regulations. FTAs help strengthen business climates by eliminating or reducing tariff rates, improving intellectual property regulations, opening government procurement opportunities, easing investment rules, and much more. For more information on FTAs, view our Regionalization and Trading Blocs lesson under the Export Tutorials section of this website.
