Free Trade Agreements

Practical Videos Show How to Benefit from FTA Tariff Preferences

Developing new international business? Consider countries with which the U.S. has free trade agreements (FTAs). The agreements can make it easier for your business to enter a foreign market, and frequently have lowered or no tariffs that can make you more competitive.

To benefit from the FTA, your shipment must qualify under the FTA's Rules of Origin. It can be a complicated topic, but a new Exporting Skills video explains it well. Watch "How to Qualify for FTA Tariff Preferences."

When you are preparing to ship to a foreign customer in an FTA market, be sure to watch our other new video - FTA Certificate of Origin Tutorial.

With the new Exporting Skills video series, you can master international sales using export.gov and U.S. Commercial Service assistance. Check out the other videos in this series.
