National Trade Estimate (NTE) Report on Foreign Trade Barriers

The Office of the United States Trade Representative has worked closely with other agencies in the U.S. government, including our embassies abroad, to prepare the NTE Report as required by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988. Starting in 2010, separate reports on sanitary and phytosanitary barriers and technical barriers to trade were published. Information used in preparing the reports is gathered from the Administration's monitoring program, from members of the public, and from private and public sector trade advisory committees.
