The European Union has officially implemented the trade agreement with the United States, removing tariffs on a range of US industrial goods and seafood products starting today.
The move marks the operational start of the deal, which was finalized after EU member states granted their final approval in recent weeks.
Under the new rules, US industrial goods and lobster can now enter the EU market duty-free.
Additionally, reduced tariffs apply to certain agricultural products and other seafood items from the United States.
The implementation aims to lower costs for European importers and potentially pass savings on to consumers.
The agreement follows a period of negotiation and ratification, with EU member states clearing the final political hurdles to allow the customs adjustments to take effect.
