Explanation
A free trade area is a regional agreement where member countries eliminate tariffs and trade barriers internally, while maintaining their own external trade policies against non-members. In contrast, a customs union also removes internal barriers but adopts a common external tariff. Common markets and monetary unions involve deeper economic integration beyond just trade barriers.
