Market Access and Compliance

Overview
Market Access and Compliance (MAC), a unit of the International Trade Administration, works to increase access to foreign markets for American firms and workers and ensures that foreign nations comply with trade agreements signed with the United States. MAC identifies and overcomes foreign barriers to U.S. exports, and enables U.S. firms to better compete in foreign markets. MAC also helps U.S. exporters, especially small and medium-sized firms, receive the full benefits of trade agreements. Common trade problems include tariff and customs barriers intellectual property protection standards, testing, laboratory, and certification barriers rules of origin government procurement contract barriers service barriers excessive government requirements excessive testing or licensing fees investment barriers bribery
MAC consists of five major operating units: Europe; Western Hemisphere; Asia; Africa, Middle East, and South Asia; and Trade Agreements and Compliance. MAC not only resolves market access barriers, but also actively participates in developing U.S. trade policy, assists negotiations of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, and supports U.S. foreign policy goals. MAC country and compliance experts work to establish a fair and transparent framework for international trade by assisting firms in overcoming foreign barriers to trade, monitoring foreign compliance with all U.S. non-agricultural trade agreements, working with the U.S. Trade Representative and other agencies to implement the strategies developed for removing market obstacles, and supporting U.S. trade negotiations to open foreign markets. To learn more about MAC and its services for U.S. exporters and investors, please explore the Web site www.trade.gov/tcc. The site provides access to an on-line trade complaint hotline for exporters to identify and report export problems, the full texts of more than 270 international trade and related agreements, and Exporter Guides with brief explanations of selected agreements. The site provides World Trade Organization standards notifications via the Notify U.S. Web site and international government procurement notices. It also provides the opportunity to subscribe to a weekly update service called Whats New that contains the latest information regarding U.S. and foreign government practices, trade agreements, and other trade-related developments. If you have any questions or would like further information about MACs services for U.S. exporters, contact the Trade Compliance Center through the Web Site, by phone at (202) 482-1191, or by e-mail at tcc@mail.doc.gov.

U.S.Central AmericaDominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTADR)

Commentary: The United States implemented CAFTADR on a rolling basis as countries ratified their commitments under the agreement. During 2006, CAFTADR entered into force between the United States and four partner countriesEl Salvador in March, Honduras and Nicaragua in April, and Guatemala in July. The agreement went into force for the Dominican Republic on March 1, 2007, and for Costa Rica on January 1, 2009. CAFTADR creates new commercial opportunities for U.S. firms while promoting regional stability, economic integration, and economic development for an important group of U.S. neighbors. Before and After CAFTADR: Overall trade in goods between the United States and the CAFTADR countries grew from $35 billion in 2005 to $44.7 billion in 2008, an increase of 28 percent. U.S. exports to the CAFTADR region were $25.4 billion in 2008, up 50 percent from 2005. U.S. imports from the CAFTADR countries were $19.4 billion in 2008, up 7 percent from 2005. Ranking: In 2008, the CAFTADR region was a larger market for U.S. exports than all but 12 individual countries. Benefits of the CAFTADR: Tariffs: More than 80 percent of U.S. exports of consumer and industrial goods to the four countries of Central America and the Dominican Republic became duty-free immediately upon entry into force of the agreement, with remaining tariffs to be phased out over 10 years. Key U.S. export sectors benefiting from the tariff elimination include information technology products, agricultural and construction equipment, paper products, chemicals, and medical and scientific equipment. Investment: The agreement establishes a secure, predictable legal framework for U.S. investors in Central America and the Dominican Republic. All forms of investment are protected under the FTA, including real property, enterprises, debt, concessions, and intellectual property. U.S. direct investment in the CAFTADR countries was $8.5 billion in 2008. Services: Central America and the Dominican Republic accord substantial market access to U.S. service providers in all sectors. The agreement loosens restrictive dealer protection regimes that had previously locked U.S. firms into exclusive or inefficient distributor arrangements. Government Procurement: The agreement requires the use of fair and transparent government procurement procedures, including advance notice of purchases and timely and effective bid review. Intellectual Property Rights: CAFTADR establishes high standards for protecting intellectual property rights, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights, and supports the growth of trade in valuable digital and other intellectual propertybased products.

U.S.Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement (TPA) Analysis

Commentary: The U.S.Colombia TPA was signed on November 22, 2006, and is awaiting consideration by the U.S. Congress. Colombias Congress approved the agreement in 2007. Upon entering into force, the TPA will help foster economic growth and create higher-paying jobs in the United States by reducing and eliminating barriers to trade and investment between the United States and Colombia. This agreement will also advance our goals of helping Colombia combat narcotics trafficking, build democratic institutions, and promote socioeconomic development. The U.S.Colombia TPA would make permanent our unilateral trade preferences under the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act. U.S.Colombia Trade: Overall trade in goods between the United States and Colombia grew from $18 billion in 2007 to $24.5 billion in 2008, an increase of 36 percent. U.S. exports to Colombia totaled $11.4 billion in 2008, up 34 percent from 2007. U.S. imports from Colombia were $13.1 billion in 2008, up 39 percent from 2007. Ranking: In 2008, Colombia was the 26th largest global market for U.S. exports and the 29th largest source of U.S. imports. Benefits of the U.S.Colombia TPA: Tariffs: Immediately upon entry into force, the agreement would provide duty-free access to 80 percent of U.S. exports of industrial and consumer products to Colombia. Investment: The TPA would establish a secure, predictable legal framework for U.S. investors. All forms of investment would be covered. In 2008, U.S. direct investment in Colombia totaled $6.3 billion. Services: Colombia agreed to accord substantial market access across sectors, including financial services, and to eliminate measures requiring U.S. firms to hire national professionals and measures requiring the purchase of local goods. Colombia also agreed that both mutual and pension funds in Colombia would be allowed to use portfolio managers in the United States. Government Procurement: The agreement requires the use of fair and transparent government procurement procedures, including advance notice of purchases and timely and effective bid review. Intellectual Property Rights: The TPA would provide for improved standards for the protection and enforcement of a broad range of intellectual property rights. This includes state-of-the-art protections for digital products such as U.S. software, music, text, and videos; stronger protection for U.S. patents, trademarks, and test data; and further deterrence of piracy and counterfeiting by criminalizing end-user piracy.

U.S.Israel Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Analysis

Commentary: The U.S.Israel FTA was signed on August 19, 1985, and entered into force on September 1, 1985. This was the first FTA signed by the United States. In addition, in 1996 the United States and Israel signed an Agreement on Trade in Agricultural Products (ATAP), establishing gradual and steady market access liberalization for food and agricultural products effective through December 31, 2001. Negotiation and implementation of a successor ATAP was completed in 2004. It was effective through December 31, 2008, and was extended through December 31, 2010. Before and After the U.S.Israel FTA: Overall trade in goods between the United States and Israel grew from $4.7 billion in 1985 to $36.8 billion in 2008, an increase of 683 percent. U.S. exports to Israel grew from $2.6 billion in 1985 to $14.5 billion in 2008, an increase of 462 percent. U.S. imports from Israel grew from $2.1 billion in 1985 to $22.3 billion in 2008, an increase of 952 percent. Ranking: In 2008, Israel was the 19th largest global market for U.S. exports and the 20th largest supplier of U.S. imports. Benefits of the U.S.-Israel FTA: Tariffs: Duties on manufactured goods were eliminated as of January 1, 1995. Investment: The FTA does not include an investment chapter. Services: The FTA includes a nonbinding statement of intent to eliminate barriers to trade in services such as tourism, communications, banking, insurance, management consulting, accounting, law, computer services, and advertising. Government Procurement: The FTA eliminates all restrictions on government procurement and calls on Israel to relax its offsets requirements for government agencies other than the Israeli Ministry of Defense. However, U.S. companies are concerned about the government procurement process, including the lack of transparency in the evaluation of tenders, lengthy tender procedures stemming from a lack of preparation, and the use of negotiated agreements or directed contracts rather than public tenders. Intellectual Property Rights: The FTA reaffirms obligations under bilateral and multilateral agreements relating to intellectual property rights. However, Israel was elevated to the Priority Watch List in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representatives 2005 Special 301 Report, where it remains because of continuing concerns about its policies on data protection for proprietary test data.

Services: The FTA provides meaningful market access commitments that extend across virtually all major service sectors, including express delivery services, research and development, legal, accounting, financial, maintenance and repair of equipment, education, health, environmental, telecommunications, audiovisual, and services incidental to mining. Government Procurement: The FTA will provide U.S. firms non-discriminatory access to nine Korean central government entities that are not covered under the plurilateral World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA). The FTA will also set a threshold (contract values above which procurement is opened) that is nearly half the GPA threshold. It provides for a working group on government procurement to take up any issues, in particular those related to information technology. Intellectual Property Rights: The FTA will provide for improved standards for the protection and enforcement of a broad range of intellectual property rights, including trademarks, copyrights, and patents. The measures are consistent with U.S. standards and will provide effective protection and enforcement for emerging technologies. These standards include state-of-the-art protections for digital products such as U.S. software, music, text, and videos.

Investment: The FTA expands the significant protections already afforded U.S. investors under a Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) signed in 1985 and provides for the protections of all forms of investment, including enterprises, debt, concessions, contracts, and intellectual property. In almost all circumstances, U.S. investors enjoy the right to establish, acquire, and operate investments in Morocco on an equal footing with Moroccan investors and with investors of other countries. U.S. investment in Morocco stood at $252 million in 2008. Services: The FTA reinforces the ongoing development of Moroccos legal and regulatory reforms and development plans for many sectors of interest to U.S. service providers in telecommunications, e-commerce, engineering and infrastructure services, and environmental and energy services, among other sectors. The FTA provides for transparency in Moroccos regulatory framework for services in standard setting; the regulatory application process; and judicial, arbitral, and administrative procedures. The agreement reinforces reform already underway in many services sectors by lowering, phasing out, or making more transparent barriers to services trade and inward investment. Government Procurement: The FTA prohibits the Moroccan government from discriminating against U.S. firms, or favoring Moroccan firms, when purchasing more than $175,000 in goods or services or $6.7 million in construction services. Intellectual Property Rights: The FTA criminalizes end-user piracy, providing strong deterrence against piracy and counterfeiting, and provides significant new protection for U.S. patent, trademark, and copyright owners.

Commentary: The U.S.Panama TPA was signed on June 28, 2007, and approved by the government of Panama on July 11, 2007. The TPA is awaiting approval by Congress. The U.S.Panama TPA will eliminate tariffs; expand access to services trade; and include important disciplines on customs administration and trade facilitation, technical barriers to trade, government procurement, investment, telecommunications, electronic commerce, intellectual property rights, and labor and environmental protection. The U.S. Panama TPA will also ensure that U.S. firms have an opportunity to participate on a competitive basis in the $5.25-billion Panama Canal expansion project. U.S.Panama Trade: Overall trade in goods between the United States and Panama grew from $4 billion in 2007 to $5.3 billion in 2008, an increase of 31 percent.

U.S. imports from Panama grew from $365 million in 2007 to $379 million in 2008, an increase of 4 percent. Ranking: Panama was the 40th largest market for U.S. exports in 2008. Benefits of the U.S.Panama TPA: Tariffs: More than 88 percent of U.S. exports of consumer and industrial goods to Panama will become dutyfree immediately upon entry into force of the agreement.

Services: The U.S.Panama TPA will provide market access in several services sectors, including telecommunications, tourism, restaurants and hotels, construction, and energy. U.S. firms will have better access to Panamas services sectors than it provides to other WTO members under the General Agreement on Tariffs in Services. The services chapter also affirms existing competitive opportunities in Panama and prevents cross-subsidization from a postal monopoly. Government Procurement: The TPA guarantees non-discriminatory access and a fair and transparent process to sell goods and services to all significant Panamanian government entities, including the Panama Canal Authority. Intellectual Property Rights: The U.S.Panama TPA will establish high levels of intellectual property rights in Panama, including procedures for registering trademarks and stronger copyright, patent, and marketing data protection and enforcement.

Commentary: The United States and Peru signed a TPA on April 12, 2006, which entered into force on February 1, 2009. The agreement fosters economic growth and creates higher-paying jobs in the United States by reducing and eliminating barriers to trade and investment. The TPA advances the American goals of helping Peru combat narcotics trafficking, build democratic institutions, and promote socioeconomic development. U.S.Peru Trade: Overall trade in goods between the United States and Peru grew from $8.8 billion in 2006 to $12 billion in 2008, an increase of 50 percent. U.S. exports to Peru grew from $2.9 billion in 2006 to $6.2 billion in 2008, an increase of 114 percent. U.S. imports from Peru dropped from $5.9 billion in 2006 to $5.8 billion in 2008, a decline of 1.7 percent. Ranking: In 2008, Peru was the 35th largest global market for U.S. exports and the 46th largest source of U.S. imports. Benefits of the U.S.Peru TPA: Tariffs: 80 percent of bilateral trade in industrial and consumer products became duty free upon the agreements entry into force. Investment: The TPA establishes a secure, predictable legal framework for U.S. investors. All forms of investment are covered. In 2008, U.S. direct investment in Peru totaled $8.5 billion. Services: The FTA provided for substantial access to Perus services market, including financial services. Peru eliminated measures that required U.S. firms to hire national professionals and to purchase local goods. Peru also agreed to allow its mutual and pension funds to use portfolio managers in the United States. Government Procurement: U.S. suppliers are granted non-discriminatory rights to bid on contracts from a broad range of Peruvian government ministries, agencies, public enterprises, and regional governments. The agreement requires the use of fair and transparent procurement procedures, such as advance notice of purchase and timely and effective bid review procedures Intellectual Property Rights: The TPA provided for improved standards for the protection and enforcement of a broad range of intellectual property rights, including state-of-the-art protections for digital products such as U.S. software, music, text, and videos; stronger protection for U.S. patents, trademarks, and test data; and further deterrence of piracy and counterfeiting by criminalizing end-user piracy.

U.S.Singapore Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Analysis

Commentary: The U.S.Singapore FTA was signed on May 6, 2003, and went into force on January 1, 2004. It was the first U.S. FTA with an Asian nation. Before and After the U.S.Singapore FTA: Overall trade in goods between the United States and Singapore was $43.8 billion in 2008, an increase of 41 percent over 2003 (the final year before FTA implementation). The U.S. trade surplus with Singapore nearly tripled during the first year of FTA implementation, reaching $4 billion in 2004, and grew to $12 billion in 2008. U.S. exports to Singapore expanded to $27.9 billion in 2008, an increase of 68 percent over 2003. U.S. imports from Singapore declined to $15.9 billion in 2008, an increase of 5 percent over 2003. Ranking: In 2008, Singapore was the 12th largest market for U.S. exports, and the 27th largest supplier to the United States. Benefits of the U.S.Singapore FTA: Tariffs: All U.S. exports to Singapore became duty free immediately upon entry into force of the FTA. Investment: The U.S.Singapore FTA prohibits imposing performance-related requirements in connection with the establishment, acquisition, expansion, management, conduct, operation, sale, or other disposition of an investment. Services: The U.S.Singapore FTA reflects a substantial advance beyond Singapores commitments on services trade under the World Trade Organization Agreement on Trade and Services. The FTA guarantees U.S. firms enhanced access to key services markets in Singapore, particularly in the financial services, express delivery, and professional services sectors, and locks in current open access in other key services markets such as telecommunications. Government Procurement: The FTA provides additional government procurement access to U.S. firms by expanding the contracts subject to FTA disciplines. Intellectual Property Rights: In line with its FTA commitments, Singapore has developed one of the strongest intellectual property rights (IPR) regimes in Asia. Amendments to the Trademarks Act and the Patents Act, a new Plant Varieties Protection Act, and a new Manufacture of Optical Discs Act came into effect in July 2004. Amended Copyright and Broadcasting Acts came into effect in January 2005, and further amendments to the Copyright Act became effective in August 2005 and December 2008. Singapore is also a signatory to the major international IPR agreements administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization, which opened Secretariat offices in Singapore in June 2005.
