ITA / Trade.gov — International Trade Administration

Parent: U.S. Department of Commerce. Domains in this note: trade.gov.

What they regulate

ITA (Commerce) promotes U.S. exports and provides trade counseling/market information via trade.gov. It does not license freight brokers, customs brokers, securities brokers, or insurance producers. Use FMCSA, CBP, FMC, SEC/FINRA, or state DOI for those credentials.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. Trade.gov — ITA trade promotion, counseling, and market-intelligence entry points.
  2. ITA programs — Exporter services — not an FMCSA, CBP customs-broker, or SEC license register.
