Trade rules and transparency
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) announced that an agreement between the United States and Brazil relating to trade rules and transparency enters into force today, February 2, 2022, following the completion of each country’s procedures.
According to the USTR release, the agreement (referred to as a “Protocol” and signed in October 2020) modernizes a trade agreement from 2011 by adding new commitments on trade facilitation, regulatory practices, and anti-corruption—based on the relevant chapters of the agreement between the United States, Mexico, and Canada (USMCA).
