The Access2Markets website has been recently revamped with improved visuals and functionalities. 
In October 2020, the European Commission launched the Access2Markets website to help EU businesses navigate and understand the many regulations related to trade and to provide tools on how to benefit from the various Free Trade Agreements the EU has with foreign countries.
 
Today, the revamped Access2Markets offers simple, practical guidance to companies looking to export outside the EU or import into the EU, making it easier to understand and use the opportunities created by EU trade agreements.
By sharing clear, step-by-step tips on tariffs, rules of origin, procedures and market requirements, Access2Markets is a go-to tool for businesses seeking practical, reliable information for their day-to-day international activities.
For example, with the “My Trade Assistant” tool, a simple search by product name or HS code will provide practical examples and clear explanations about rules of origins and other aspects linked to a free trade agreement active with the target foreign country. 
The website does not only cover physical products, but also trade of services, and public procurements.  
Of course, the website contains detailed information about trading regulations with Japan and about the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement. 
The use of the website is free of charge and accessible in any official language of the EU.
