Uruguay also engages in ongoing negotiations and frameworks aimed at expanding trade opportunities, such as the Mercosur–European Union Association Agreement, which, once ratified, will further reduce barriers with EU markets.

In addition to regional arrangements, Uruguay has bilateral trade cooperation agreements, such as the Uruguay–Venezuela Preferential Trade Agreement (ACE 63), and individual agreements with countries like Uruguay–Chile (ACE 73) and Uruguay–Brazil automotive agreements that enhance market access.
