Trade-related Agreement with the United States of America

Nepal and the US had signed the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) in April 2011. The Agreement aims to reduce trade barriers to facilitate increased trade. Following the 2015 earthquakes in Nepal, the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 established a new country-specific preference program to grant duty-free treatment to Nepal for products covered by 77 Harmonized Tariff Schedule lines (including handicrafts, shawls, and travel goods).
