Industry and Analysis — Combines ITA’s industry, trade, and economic experts to advance the competitiveness of U.S. industries through the development and execution of innovative international trade and investment policies and promotion strategies.
Enforcement and Compliance — Enforces U.S. trade law and ensures compliance with trade agreements negotiated on behalf of U.S. industry. This unit supports and interacts with the President's Interagency Trade Enforcement Center.
