why if I’m travelling between countries that have a free trade agreement I’m still subject to restrictions at customs at airports.
In: Economics
Most laws separate the transit of goods, and the transit of people.
Laws around goods are about product standards and taxes. If you have a free trade agreement, you’re agreeing to not raise tariffs on goods being brought in.
Laws around people are about immigration and crime, mostly. Most countries require a visa of some sort to visit, and a permit to remain and work. Only the Shengen area in Europe allows free movement of people for tourism and work.
