CETA (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) is a free trade agreement between the European Union and Canada, provisionally in force since 2017. It eliminates or reduces tariffs on over 98 % of traded goods and aligns numerous technical standards, substantially simplifying goods shipments between EU markets and Canada for freight forwarders and exporters. For logistics operators, CETA means fewer customs formalities, lower transport costs through reduced duties, and faster clearance at border crossings.
