Trade Agreements
Last published date:

A list of trade agreements with the EU and its Member States, as well as concise explanations, can be found online.

The European Commission, on behalf of the EU, is currently negotiating or has negotiated (yet to be implemented) a number of trade agreements and investment agreements with third countries.

The Ministry of Economic Development and Technology identifies Polish interests in specific negotiations, coordinates the development of Polish policy, and presents and defends this policy in the EU forum. It is also responsible for coordinating the implementation of trade agreements in Poland.

The EU’s Common Customs Tariff system is supplemented by preferential agreements, including new free trade agreements such as the EU–New Zealand Agreement (in force since 2024) and ongoing modernization of older agreements (e.g., with Mexico and Chile). In addition, there are autonomous tariff suspensions and quotas, as well as tariff preferences for developing countries under the revised Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP+).

Security considerations are increasingly important: since the EU customs reform (mandatory application of the revised Union Customs Code – UCC – and its implementing regulations by the end of 2023), digital risk analysis, IT-supported customs systems, and the AEO certificate have been extensively used to secure the supply chain.

The most comprehensive information on trade agreements negotiated by the EU is available on the website of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Trade.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
