free trade

  

Definition

The interchange of goods and services (but not of capital or labor) unhindered by high tariffs, nontariff barriers (such as quotas), and onerous or unilateral requirements or processes.

Under a WTO treaty signed by 124 nations in 1995, tariffs are being systematically cut by an average of 40 percent during a fixed timeframe.
