European Union Customs Union

The European Union Customs Union is an agreement among EU member countries that allows for the free movement of goods between them without tariffs or customs checks. It establishes a common external tariff for goods coming from outside the EU, meaning all member countries charge the same tariffs on imports. This helps to simplify trade within the EU, making it more efficient and cost-effective. Essentially, when goods are traded between EU members, they can move easily, while imports from non-member countries are treated consistently across the EU.
