North American Free Trade Agreement, 1992 Oct. 7 Tariff Phasing Descriptions
1992
This is the actual tariff phasing schedule from the NAFTA negotiations, dated October 7, 1992 - a snapshot of the negotiations that would eventually create the world's largest free trade zone. What makes this document remarkable is not prose or narrative, but its role as a historical artifact: it captures the precise moment when Canada, Mexico, and the United States were dismantling decades of trade barriers, agreeing to eliminate thousands of tariffs across industries from automotive to agriculture. The dry tables and tariff codes here represent the outcome of fierce political battles, corporate lobbying, and national economic strategies. For economic historians, trade policy researchers, or anyone curious about the legal architecture that reshaped North American supply chains, this document offers raw primary source material from a pivotal historical moment.
