Text of the Agreement
  Background and Negotiations
   

The Free Trade Agreement between Bolivia and Mexico was signed on 10 September 1994 in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The agreement establishes a free trade area within fifteen years of entry into force, and supercedes and replaces ALADI partial scope agreement AAP 31 of 30 April 1983.

  Entry into Force
   

The Bolivia-Mexico Free Trade Agreement, which was deposited with the Latin American Integration Association, ALADI, as Economic Complementation Agreement (ACE) 31 Spanish, entered into force on 01 January 1995.

After 16 years in force, as of 07 June, 2010, both countries decided to rescind ACE No. 31 and replace it with a new Economic Complementation Agreement (ECA No. 66) that would maintain the free trade of goods without changing the agreed preferential tariff treatment in the denounced FTA. The new Agreement entered into force on 07 June, 2010.
