USTR Issues 2004 Edition of National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers
The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) has released the 2004 edition of the National Trade Estimate (NTE) Report on Foreign Trade Barriers. The NTE documents foreign trade barriers to U.S. exports and U.S. efforts to reduce and eliminate those barriers.
The NTE report includes a list of barriers and unfair trade practices to U.S. exports of goods, services, and farm products. This year's NTE Report covers 58 major trading partners of the U.S. and profiles policies restricting market access. The NTE report highlights the global effort to reduce or eliminate those barriers, and notes the effect of the Free Trade Agreement negotiations the U.S. has held or plans to hold, as well as top areas of concern related to intellectual property rights protection and sanitary and phytosanitary measures.
