Import from Ukraine
The Canada Ukraine Free Trade Agreement (CUFTA) benefits importers as well as exporters. When CUFTA entered into force, Canada immediately eliminated tariffs on 99.9% of imports from Ukraine, including:
- 99.9% manufactured products
- all fish and seafood
- 99.9% of agricultural imports
Key products from Ukraine that benefited from this duty-free access include:
- sunflower oil
- sugar and chocolate confectionery
- baked goods
- vodka
- iron and steel
- apparel
- ceramics
- minerals
Canada has excluded all over-quota tariffs for supply-managed products (dairy, poultry and eggs) from tariff elimination and no import quotas for these products were increased or established. Accordingly, the supply management system and its three key pillars (production control, import controls and price controls) are not affected by the agreement.
CUFTA also has:
- rules about non-tariff measures that help to ensure that market access gains are not constrained by unjustified trade barriers
- commitments designed to reduce red tape at the border
