Under the Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR), all of U.S. consumer and industrial goods exports to the region are no longer subject to tariffs.

Participants in the webinar will hear market insight from the U.S. Commercial Service in Costa Rica and can ask questions to address their specific interests. Participants will also receive information about the opportunity to attend the association’s trade mission to Costa Rica from May 21-22 this year.

The association’s trade missions are a part of the Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) grant is received from the U.S. Department of Commerce to help the automotive industry increase exports to free trade agreement partners in Latin America.
