Trade agreements are another benefit to the business at a federal level. They make going global fast and products easier to export. The CPTPP and CETA are the best examples of Canada. Currently, Canada is hoping to secure additional free trade agreements with India, China, and the UK.
CETA Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement
With the CETA Agreement into effect, 98 percent of EU tariff lines became duty-free for Canadian goods, and an additional one percent will be eliminated over a seven-year phase-out period. Tariff elimination will provide enhanced import opportunities for the EU from the Canadian market in areas such as agricultural, marine, forestry, and the full range of industrial goods. There is a great deal of potential in this agreement giving companies trading opportunities all over Europe.
CPTPP Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership
The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) Agreement will give Canadian agriculture and agri-food products preferential market access to all CPTPP countries. It will provide new market access opportunities for Canadian pork, beef, pulses, fruits and vegetables, malt, grains, cereals, animal feeds, maple syrup, wines and spirits, baked goods, processed grain and pulse products, sugar and chocolate confectionery, and processed foods and beverages.
