In force since July 2009. The free trade agreement (FTA) between Canada and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland is a goods-only agreement with an emphasis on tariff elimination. It establishes a commitment to review the Agreement with a view to considering the scope for possible expansion of the FTA into areas such as services, investment, and intellectual property at a later date. Consult the Canada Tariff Finder to explore tariff information for the European Free Trade Area market under the Canada-EFTA free trade agreement, and other foreign markets with which Canada has a free trade agreement. For more information, please see: additional background information on the Canada-European Free Trade Association Free Trade Agreement.
