This reference book is made up of a series of two-page fact sheets on 14 current or pending free trade agreements, and 50 countries (plus the European Union) that are leading U.S. trade partners.

Each entry includes basic economic data for the past three years, including gross domestic product, exports and imports, trade balance with the United States, and the level of foreign direct investment. The data are supplemented by charts that show leading U.S. exports to each trade partner by industry category, U.S. market share, and other trade information.

Market Access and Compliance
Overview
The mission of Market Access and Compliance (MAC), a unit of the International Trade Administration, is to: 1) advance U.S. commercial interests by fostering an open global economic environment in which U.S. firms have an equal opportunity to compete and win; and 2) champion American businesses and workers by eliminating foreign barriers to trade, investment and operations; enforcing trade agreements; and, promoting global growth.

MAC’s country desk officers are experts on the commercial, economic, and political climates in their assigned countries. They focus on resolving trade complaints and market access issues, such as those
related to:
• Intellectual Property and Piracy
• Quotas
• Standards
• Customs
• Transparency and Contract Sanctity
• Discriminatory Treatment
• Good Governance
• Sanitary and Phytosanitary Standards

MAC coordinates efforts with ITA’s Commercial Service staff and industry sector experts, as well as with other foreign policy and trade-related government agencies to achieve meaningful results rapidly for U.S. exporters and investors.

MAC’s Trade Compliance Center (TCC) works with businesses to ensure that they receive the benefits of the more than 270 trade agreements that open up foreign markets to U.S. goods and services. If you believe your company is being treated unfairly in a foreign market, contact the TCC by calling (202) 482-1191 or visiting <www.trade.gov/tcc>, which contains a wealth of information about U.S. exporter rights under our trade agreements.
