The Colombia Tariff Ticker
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.
International trade is an integral part of the U.S. economy,
accounting for more than one-quarter of U.S. gross domestic product
and supporting more than 12 million U.S. jobs, including 1 in
5 manufacturing positions. FTAs can be a catalyst for accelerating
economic growth by allowing greater competition, encouraging the
formation of international partnerships, and by greatly liberalizing
many industries. Most FTAs include specific obligations in the
areas of intellectual property, services, investment, and telecommunications.
Many FTAs also provide for groundbreaking cooperation in promoting
labor rights and the environment.
