Last month a new trade deal was created between Canada and the European Union that will help to launch more trade between the two sides. We believe that it is important for Canadian business owners to understand the new deal and how it will impact trade between these two regions. To attain a better understanding of the new Canadian-EU Trade Deal, we break down what it is and what it means for Canadians looking to ship internationally.
What is the new Canadian-EU trade deal?
The new trade deal between Canada and the European Union, otherwise referred to as CETA (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) was approved by the EU parliament on Wednesday, February 15. This new trade deal will significantly reduce trade barriers between Canada and the EU. As a result, both sides should see a large increase in trade volume and job creation.
Before the Canadian-EU trade deal, trade between the two sides amounted to $63 billion annually. It is estimated that the new CETA will raise these numbers by 20%, another $13.2 billion each year. The elimination of almost all prior trade barriers between Canada and the European Union should also help to create new jobs for Canadians.

How will this impact international freight and shipping for Canadians?
Not only will the Canadian-EU trade deal significantly increase trade between the two sides, it will make international shipping much simpler for Canadian business owners. By eliminating almost all trade tariffs between the two sides, more Canadian business owners will be able to compete in the European market.
