The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement ([USMCA](https://www.federvini.it/estero-cat/1127-il-distilled-spirits-council-lancia-un-appello-per-per-porre-fine-alla-guerra-commerciale-con-canada-e-messico)) entered into force on 01 July 2020, replacing the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The new agreement’s many important provisions include maintaining duty-free treatment for spirits, preserving recognition of distinctive products, and introducing new norms regarding certification for alcohol beverages.
