From the Paper:

"According to Sidney W. Rugman, A. M. Boyd, G (2004, p.25), North American Free Trade Agreement is a treaty that was entered into by Mexico, Canada and the United States as a way to facilitate enhanced trading between these member countries. The greatest benefit that this agreement brought to member states is reduced tariffs on goods. Before the realization of North American Free Trade Agreement, goods sold between these nations carried very high tariffs, especially those goods which the United States sold to Canada and Mexico."
