Trading under Free Trade Agreements (FTAs)

Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) offer businesses a chance to export goods and services to other countries at preferential tariff rates than would be possible otherwise.

This course, "TRADING UNDER FTAs allows participants to gain practical knowledge of the intricacies of exporting to countries under the framework of Free Trade Agreements.
