CPTPP Tariff Savings 2026: Import Duty-Free from 11 Countries

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.
