Joint Statement on Framework for United States-El Salvador Agreement on Reciprocal Trade
United States–El Salvador trade deal to cut red tape and lower some tariffs
Key Points
- Some goods from El Salvador, like clothes and items not made in the United States, could get cheaper as the United States plans to remove some tariffs.
- United States companies selling to El Salvador should face less paperwork and faster approvals, especially for medicines, medical devices, cars, and farm goods.
- Downloads and online services stay duty-free, and El Salvador agrees not to add a special digital tax that singles out United States firms.
- El Salvador pledges to protect worker rights and ban imports made with forced labor, and to crack down on illegal logging, fishing, wildlife trade, and mining.
- Both countries plan to work together on supply chains and security, including stopping tariff evasion and watching risky investments and exports.
