  • Transparency and Contract Sanctity
  • National 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.

MAC’s Trade Compliance Center (TCC) works with large and small 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.
