Tariff-Free Area

/ˈtær.ɪf friː ˈeə.ri.ə/noun
ELI5 mode

A tariff-free area is a designated region or group of countries where goods can be traded without imposing customs duties or taxes, promoting easier cross-border commerce and economic integration. This setup is a cornerstone of modern trade pacts, like those in the EU, as it reduces costs for businesses and encourages global supply chains, though it can sometimes spark debates over local industry protection.
