ITC reviews proposed modifications to U.S.-Morocco FTA

The U.S. International Trade Commission has been asked to investigate the effects of proposed changes to the U.S.-Morocco Free Trade Agreement’s rules of origin as they relate to certain textiles and apparel.    The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), a non-partisan factfinding agency, has been asked by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to investigate the effects of proposed modifications to the U.S.-Morocco Free Trade Agreement’s rules of origin as they relate to certain textiles and apparel.
   The ITC will provide advice on the probable economic impact of these modifications on U.S. trade and domestic producers of the same goods.
   The commission expects to submit its advice to the USTR by Jan. 24, and a public version of the report will be released shortly thereafter.
