The following is a listing of the provisions of the Trade Facilitation Agreement that are scheduled for implementation for each Member over the upcoming two-year period from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2027.[1] This document has no legal status and serves only to assist Members to keep track of their deadlines.

In line with the provisions of the Trade Facilitation Agreement, Article 17 outlines the process for requesting extensions of implementation deadlines. Specifically, developing Members may submit notifications for extensions of implementation dates no later than 120 days before the scheduled implementation date, whereas least-developed country (LDC) Members must submit such notifications no later than 90 days before the scheduled implementation date.

To further assist Members keeping track of their implementation deadlines, the TFA Database offers the option to subscribe to automatic email reminders of upcoming implementation dates, including deadlines for submitting extension requests. Concerned Members can activate this feature through their Member Profile page at https://www.tfadatabase.org/en/members.
