Primarily it eliminates tariffs (customs duties) on most goods traded among the U.S., Mexico and Canada that meet the agreement’s rules of origin.
It also reduces or removes several non‑tariff barriers — for example:
- bans customs duties on electronically transmitted/digital products and protects cross‑border data flows,
- streamlines customs procedures and reduces paperwork,
- limits local‑content and export‑performance requirements,
- provides greater market access for U.S. dairy in Canada (through expanded TRQs/reduced tariffs).
In short: USMCA keeps and updates the tariff‑free trade framework from NAFTA for qualifying goods and tackles a range of non‑tariff barriers to trade.
