List of bilateral free trade agreements
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bilateral free trade agreement is between two sides, where each side could be a country (or other customs territory), a trade bloc or an informal group of countries, and creates a free trade area.
 | This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: linking to articles on agreements, presentation as tables. (November 2011) |
Note that every customs union, common market, economic union, customs and monetary union and economic and monetary union is also a free trade area, and there are several fully multilateral free trade agreements not included below.
