Morocco-USA Free Trade Agreement

• The United States and Morocco completed a free trade agreement (FTA) March 2, 2004. The Agreement entered into force on January 1, 2006. At that time, tariffs for more than 95 percent of qualifying consumer and industrial goods were immediately eliminated. Remaining tariffs for most remaining qualifying goods will be eliminated over a nine-year period from the date the Agreement entered into force. For a limited number of products, tariffs will be eliminated over a period of up to 15 years.
  
  The agreement also offers new access to services, intellectual property protection, a predictable legal framework for U.S. investors, open and fair government procurement, and strong protections for labor and environment.
  
  In order to take advantage of the benefits for U.S. goods under this Agreement, exporters will need to understand how to determine that their goods are "originating," that is, how they qualify for preferential duty treatment under the U.S.-Morocco FTA Rules of Origin.
