National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade BarriersThe "National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers (NTE)" is an annual series that surveys significant foreign barriers to U.S. exports. As required by statute, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) is required to submit to the President and Congress an annual report on significant foreign trade and investment barriers. Information is also included on some of the actions taken to eliminate foreign trade barriers. The report is based upon information compiled within USTR, the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Agriculture, other U.S. Government agencies, and U.S. Embassies abroad. It is also supplemented with information provided by the U.S. private sector. What follows are the Japan chapters of recent NTE reports.
