ITA's Trade Agreements Compliance Program Helps Small Businesses |

Wednesday, November 23 2011 08:21 |
When an American company experiences a trade-related problem abroad, Market Access and Compliance (MAC) experts use a variety of tools to achieve a resolution, tailoring the approach to the company's needs. These problems can range from short-term issues, such as getting a product through customs, to longer-term, systemic challenges, like a foreign government reserving its entire renewable energy sector for domestic firms.
"Competition in the global marketplace is fierce; the margin for success is increasingly thin. It is more important now than ever before that the United States Government does all that it can to help American businesses compete on a level playing field," says Assistant Secretary of Commerce Michael C. Camuñez. An example of a small business receiving critical MAC assistance is found in this video. Also, Jason Dickson of UPS and MN District Export Council Member discusses the Trade Compliance Program with Bryan O'Byrne from the Trade Compliance Center in this video.
