Notify U.S. is operated by the National Institute of Standards and technology (NIST), an agency of the USDOC. Notify U.S. is a free, Internet-based service for U.S. exporters that electronically notifies companies when foreign governments propose regulations that might influence the treatment of their exports to global markets.

Notify U.S. can spare businesses and other organizations from unwanted surprises that are sometimes caused by unexpected changes in technical requirements that dictate terms of market entry.

By electronic mail, Notify U.S. sends WTO-distributed notifications to registered users. Notifications are sorted among 41 fields of activity that range from health care technology to agriculture to construction materials. Users can specify the fields of activity that they wish to track; users can also monitor developments in all countries or customize a selection of countries or regions, such as China, Japan, Brazil, or the European Union.

In addition to describing the proposed regulation, notifications list the country of origin, the products covered and the deadline for comments. Interested users can read the full regulatory texts online immediately or contact NIST to receive copies.
