Trade Compliance Center (TCC)
The Department of Commerce's Trade Agreements Compliance Program
helps U.S. exporters and investors gain access to foreign markets
when foreign trade barriers stand in their way. The mission of the
Commerce Trade Agreements Compliance Program is to ensure that foreign
countries trade agreement obligations to the United States
are closely monitored, that compliance violations are addressed
promptly, and that U.S. exporters are aware of the rights created
by these trade agreements. Our Trade Agreements Compliance Program
promotes U.S. exports, supports U.S. jobs, maintains confidence
in our trade agreements and helps ensure a level international playing
field. The Trade Compliance Center, the TCC, is the U.S. Government's
gateway for monitoring foreign compliance with trade
agreements to ensure that U.S. firms and workers get the maximum benefits
from these agreements. To help American exporters overcome foreign
trade barriers and to make certain our trading partners play by
the rules, the TCC maintains the Department of Commerce's Trade
Complaint Hotline (http://www.export.gov/tcc,
(202) 482-1191) through which U.S. businesses can register their complaints
online or by phone. When a trade complaint is submitted, the TCC
coordinates a team of government experts that works closely with
the company involved and develops a compliance strategy to try to
resolve the complaint.
