Market Access and Compliance (MAC)
Market Access and Compliance (MAC) ensures that foreign countries,
including China, live up to their trade commitments under the WTO
and other international trade-related agreements and that trade barriers do not
impede the flow of goods and services between the U.S. and foreign
markets. MAC makes sure that foreign markets are open to American
businesses and workers, and assists companies facing exporting
problems overseas.
