Terms of FTA

Free Trade Agreement (FTA) refers to a preferential trade agreement that eases not only tariff barriers for goods but also non-tariff barriers in various fields such as services and investment among the signatory countries. In addition to easing tariff and non-tariff barriers, recent FTAs include various trade norms such as intellectual property rights, government procurement, and competition.
