What is ITCI: ITCI is a comprehensive, one-stop source of advice, information, training, and assistance on all aspects of international trade regulations and compliance.

Why ITCI? Many exporters and importers fail to comply with international trade regulations out of ignorance. The unwitting violators not only put our nation at risk, but also risk severe criminal penalties and loss of their goods. Many potential global traders simply avoid exporting or importing out of fear of regulations. These fearful trade-avoiders are denying themselves huge potential opportunities for business and job growth that could benefit their companies as well as the nation.

What ITCI offers: You can call us for advice or referral, meet with a staff member by appointment, tap 24/7 into our extensive, free Website, attend training events on a wide range of regulatory topics, and even get customized consulting from compliance experts.

We take particular pride in the ITCI Website. We believe it to be the most comprehensive, free Web portal of its kind. It covers the entire gamut of U.S., foreign-country, and multilateral trade laws and regulations. See the Regulatory FAQ Database with over 1,000 authoritative FAQs across all these areas; the Regulatory Database with hundreds of regulatory terms/acronyms, laws/regulations, treaties/agreements, documents, and regulatory bodies; the Trade Information Database with over 1,000 deep links to trade-related information in 12 broad categories; the Export-Import Basics Kit; the Events Calendar; and many other helpful compliance tools and resources. We will continue to build the databases where gaps exist.

We encourage you to Contact Us with your comments and suggestions, especially those relevant to the three ITCI databases and the Events Calendar.
