Free Trade Area of the Americas Finance Definition
A trading coalition comprised of the United
States and five other countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras,
and Nicaragua. These Central American countries import approximately $9 billion
in products from the United States each year; the United States imports about
$11 billion in goods from these five countries. Because of special-preference
programs established within the coalition, nearly 75 percent of the products
exported to the United States by the countries in the coalition arrive duty
free (meaning taxes are not paid on them).
