This category includes exchanges of letters, exchanges of notes, and formal agreements between Canada and the United States — and, where applicable, Mexico — that relate to trade policy and commercial cooperation. The documents address tariff schedules, free‑trade obligations, product standards, customs harmonization, and sector‑specific arrangements such as softwood lumber and agricultural imports. These agreements support the administration and evolution of bilateral and trilateral trade frameworks, including the Canada–U.S. Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA, and their successor accords.
