Tullunion

A customs union (tullunion) is countries that have removed the tariffs between them and have the same tariff towards the outside world, and this is how the EU works. Within the union, goods can move freely without tariffs, while all member states apply the same rules towards countries outside. This means that trade within the area is simplified while the border outward is handled jointly.
