In America there are several Trade Agreements (Free Trade Agreements, Economic Partnership), both regional and extra-regional:

Intra-regional: USMCA, MERCOSUR, Andean Community, Latin American Integration Association
Extra-regional: Trans-Pacific Agreement, APEC, agreements with the EU
Bilateral: U.S. Agreements with Chile, Colombia, Morocco, Australia. Mexico has trade agreements with Chile, Uruguay..

Furthermore, each American country can have Trade Agreements with the third countries. For example, Chile has trade agreements with Panama, China, the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Central America, the EFTA, Australia, Peru, and, Turkey.

Chile is a member of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and the APEC.

A company wishing to do business in America should know all these agreements in force for all the target markets in the region.

If the country of the exporter (or importer):

a) Has agreements in force with an American country:

The exporter should take advantages of the agreement (tariff reductions, rules and certificate of origin, technical standards, FDI, IPR, public procurement, Trade in Services...) however, it also needs to know if other countries may have agreements in force with one of these countries.

b) Has no agreement in force with any America country:

One possible scenario is that another country (or region) can have an agreement in force with the American Countries. Then, the exporter has a disadvantage.

All these factors are essential to design and adapt the International Marketing strategy for each target market in America.

For example, an Argentinian company wishing to export to the U.S. would be at a disadvantage with a Chilean company, as Chile has a free trade agreement in force with the U.S., and the Argentinian company has all the advantages inherent to the agreement. The Argentinian company should consider this factor in its export strategy to the region.

The Master in Business in America includes the following Free Trade Agreements and institutions related to foreign trade in the region.
