trade partnership

Business exchange agreement

A trade partnership is a formal economic relationship between countries, regions, or organizations that establishes preferential terms for commerce between them.

Such arrangements typically reduce tariffs, streamline customs procedures, or eliminate trade barriers: The trade partnership between the two nations doubled exports within five years.

The term also applies to business relationships where companies collaborate on importing, exporting, or distribution.
