How FTAs Reduce Import Duties

Free trade agreements create preferential duty rates between member countries.

A free trade agreement is a treaty between two or more countries that reduces or eliminates tariffs.

The catch: goods don't automatically qualify just because they ship from an FTA partner country.

As a freight forwarder, you can flag FTA eligibility to your clients.
