The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) gives Canadian businesses preferential access to a dynamic group of markets across the Indo-Pacific and Latin America. For many small and medium-sized businesses, however, understanding how to use the agreement in practice can be challenging - from identifying where tariff advantages exist to understanding rules of origin, documentation requirements, and market-specific considerations.
In this Global Growth Series webinar, a representative from the Trade Commissioner Service will provide a practical overview of the CPTPP and what it means for Canadian exporters. The session will focus on how businesses can assess market opportunities, use the agreement more effectively, and understand the key considerations before expanding into CPTPP markets.
This session is designed for business leaders looking to better understand how trade agreements can support market diversification and export growth, with practical guidance from Canada's trade support network.
