The Canada–Korea Free Trade Agreement (CKFTA) was implemented January 1, 2015. With the exception of a few agricultural goods, the CKFTA eliminates customs duties on all imports from Korea, effective either immediately upon implementation of the agreement or through a tariff phase-out.
Information regarding the CKFTA and the text of the agreement can be found on the Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada Web site.
The CKFTA implementing legislation, Bill C-41, received Royal Assent on November 26, 2014, and was scheduled to come into force on January 1, 2015.
Proposed regulatory amendments and a new regulation under the Customs Act related to the CKFTA will be announced in a separate customs notice at a later date.
