Trade Issues

The Council serves as an industry advocate to foreign governments whose proposed or enacted restrictive actions may at times constitute a non-tariff barrier to trade under World Trade Organization commitments. Under the direction of the Council's International Executive Steering Committee, the Council submits comments to foreign governments, engages U.S. government in advocacy efforts, and is a proactive participant in reform efforts in targeted countries. The Council also actively monitors trade policy issues and directly engages in issues affecting our industry.
