COUNTRIES THAT HAVE TRADE AGREEMENTS WITH THE VENEZUELA
FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS
TRADE AGREEMENTS / PREFERENTIAL ACCESS
Venezuela’s trade relations are shaped mainly through regional cooperation frameworks and bilateral accords. Venezuela is a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), and historically sought integration through regional blocs such as Mercosur (which suspended Venezuela’s membership in 2017) and the Andean Community (from which it withdrew).
Venezuela and the CARICOM (Caribbean Community) have a long‑standing Trade and Investment Agreement that provides unilateral preferential (duty‑free) access for certain goods from CARICOM into Venezuela and fosters economic cooperation and investment promotion.
Venezuela and Colombia maintain a bilateral trade framework that grants mutual tariff preferences and disciplines for sanitary, origin, and commercial measures to facilitate cross‑border trade, reflecting their close economic ties and historical trade volume.
PREFERENTIAL TRADE AGREEMENTS
In the context of regional integration mechanisms, Venezuela participates in ALADI (Asociación Latinoamericana de Integración) frameworks that support cooperation among Latin American countries and can extend preferences based on specific agreements within the group.
Venezuela also engages in bilateral agreements with individual countries or regional groupings that may extend preferential access or cooperation, such as with CARICOM states and through historical accords within South America’s integration processes.
AGREEMENTS FOR FOREIGN INVESTMENT (BILATERAL INVESTMENT TREATIES)
Venezuela has concluded bilateral investment treaties (BITs) with several countries to promote and protect foreign investment. Recent treaties include one with China, reflecting deep economic and strategic cooperation.
Other existing investment protection agreements include the Canada‑Venezuela Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement, which provides safeguards for investors from Canada.
Venezuela may also have (or historically had) other bilateral investment agreements with countries across Latin America and beyond, aimed at encouraging investment flows and offering legal protections for foreign direct investment under agreed terms.
