Trade Policy Development and Advocacy

Outreach and advocacy to key policy makers, foreign government representatives, agency regulators and trade negotiators is important to ensure that your company's international trade priorities are taken into consideration and addressed. ​TradeMoves can help your company prioritize trade issues and communicate them to the appropriate government agencies. We can also represent your company's interests in trade associations and help advance priorities for your sector.

Examples of trade policy support include:
​

• Organized an industry communication forum to advance small- and medium-sized firms' interests in the Asia Pacific region. 

• Managed a US-EU industry coalition to help secure a 10-year delay in implementation of the European Union's 'metric-only' labeling requirement. This success saved US and EU companies extraordinary compliance costs in labeling separately for each market and ensured smaller firms could remain compliant in both markets.

​

• Advocate clients' positions to government agencies on tariff and non-tariff barriers in free-trade agreement negotiations and trade disputes, and develop recommendations for commercially-viable solutions.
