Free trade agreement between the United States of America and the Republic of Korea which the Negotiations were announced on February 2, 2006, and concluded on April 1, 2007.
The agreement was passed by the United States on October 12, 2011 with the Senate passing it 83-15 and the House 278-151. It was ratified by the National Assembly of South Korea on November 22, 2011, with a vote of 151-7, with 12 abstentions. The trade agreement involves an estimated 362 million consumers in the United States and the Republic of Korea. The agreement entered into effect in March 2012.
The treaty's provisions eliminate 95% of each nation's tariffs on goods within five years, and also create new protections for multinational financial services and other firms.
The KORUS FTA will also provide U.S. suppliers with greater access to the Korean government procurement market. In addition to strengthening US economic partnership, the KORUS FTA would help to solidify the two countries' long-standing geostrategic alliance.
As the first U.S. FTA with a North Asian partner, the KORUS FTA is a model for trade agreements for the rest of the region, and underscores the U.S. commitment to, and engagement in, the Asia-Pacific region.
