The EFTA–Canada FTA is a free trade agreement between the European Free Trade Association – Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland – and Canada, progressively eliminating tariffs on industrial and agricultural goods while harmonising customs procedures. It also establishes frameworks for trade in services, investment protection, and intellectual property. Traders seeking preferential duty rates must present valid proof of origin and demonstrate that their goods satisfy the agreement's rules of origin; without that documentation, standard MFN rates apply. In practice, the FTA shapes tariff classification decisions, import paperwork requirements, and clearance timelines for shipments on both sides of the Atlantic.
