商務部表示，中韓自貿區談判于2012年5月啟動，2014年11月，中韓兩國元首在北京共同宣布結束實質性談判。中韓自貿協定是我國迄今為止涉及國別貿易額最大、領域范圍最為全面的自貿協定。韓方則表示，在韓國與其他國家簽署的所有自貿協定中，中韓自貿協定的關稅優惠對象數量最多。兩國商定今年上半年正式簽署協定。
根據規定，中國將在最長20年內實現零關稅的產品達到稅目的91%、進口額的85%，韓國零關稅產品達到稅目的92%、進口額的91%。中國將在電器電子領域針對電飯鍋、洗衣機、冰箱、醫療儀器、家電零部件等產品實現零關稅。韓國將分階段取消電動機、變壓器關稅，并在15到20年內逐步取消手提包、高爾夫球桿等自華進口量較大的生活用品關稅。
在制造業方面，汽車和零部件未被列入關稅減讓對象或中長期實現貿易自由化的對象。在農水產領域，韓國大米、辣椒、大蒜以及魷魚、帶魚等20種水產品目未被列入關稅減讓對象。
中韓自貿協定正式生效還有不少程序有待完成。首先，雙方要將協定翻譯成本國語言。中韓自貿協定文本和減稅清單加在一起共達1077頁，翻譯工作需要相當長的時間。待文本翻譯工作完成后，還需要走一系列的國內批準程序，然后兩國正式簽署用英文和本國語言擬寫的協定。韓國媒體報道稱，韓國政府計劃今年上半年正式簽署協定。最后，韓國政府還要將協定交給國會批準，若國會批準程序順利進行，中韓自貿協定有望今年內正式生效。（中國進出口網）
