International Trade Administration
International Trade Administration (ITA)
The International Trade Administration (ITA) is a vital instrument of the federal government. As an exporter, your primary focus in terms of government affairs as they apply directly to your business should be on the ITA, whose policies are developed and governed by the Under Secretary for International Trade. This administrator has a major effect on exporters and on our trade and economic relations with other countries. ITA arranges for programs to assist your export promotion efforts, develops information and statistics that make your own market research possible, determines the availability and effectiveness of our domestic trade specialists and overseas officers, and participates in formulating and imple-menting part of our foreign trade and economic policies in cooperation with the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR). There are no financing or financial assistance programs on the DOC menu.
ITA is divided into four units, each administered by assistant secretaries and their deputy assistant secretaries, except for the U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service (US&FCS), which is administered by a director general. Three of the units are the International Economic Policy, Trade Development, and Import Administration. Until 1988 the fourth section was called Trade Administration, and besides the present duties of what became the Import Administration Section described here, it oversaw the export licensing and anti-boycott regulations. This function was moved in 1988 from being an ITA section to separately stand in DOC as the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA). It is described in Exporters-sources.com - index page - 31, which covers export licensing. The Omnibus Trade Bill demanded that DOC, through ITA, step up market development and trade promotions, including a pilot program for Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. The same bill also supported enhanced export promotion data systems.
