Advocating for U.S. Companies

Trade advocacy is assistance on a specific trade or export related issue rendered by the U.S. Government on behalf of a U.S. company.

Advocacy assistance can help you overcome trade barriers, bureaucratic problems, unfair trading practices and help level the playing field to ensure that your company has the best possible chance to sell its products and services.
