CPTPP Tariff Savings 2026: Import Duty-Free from 11 Countries
By TariffCalc Editorial Team
The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) gives Canada preferential trade access to 10 countries across the Asia-Pacific region.
CPTPP Member Countries
Australia, Brunei, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. The United Kingdom joined in 2023.
Major Benefits for Canadian Importers
- Japanese automobiles and parts: Reduced duties on vehicles and auto parts
- Vietnamese textiles and electronics: Preferential rates on clothing, footwear, and consumer electronics
- Australian minerals and agriculture: Duty-free access for many raw materials
- Malaysian electronics: Lower duties on semiconductor components and electronic assemblies
Duty Elimination Schedule
CPTPP duties are being phased out over time. Some goods received immediate duty-free treatment, while others follow a staging schedule:
- Category A: Duty-free on entry into force
- Category B: Phased out over 3 years
- Category C: Phased out over 5-7 years
- Category D: Phased out over 10+ years
Rules of Origin
CPTPP uses cumulation rules, meaning components from any CPTPP member can count toward meeting origin requirements. This makes it easier for goods with multi-country supply chains to qualify.
