Trade Agreements Act (TAA) Designated Countries

 Go Back to Government Procurement Service Page

The Trade Agreements Act (TAA) limits government procurement to items which are either manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a TAA-designated country.

TAA-designated countries are those with whom the U.S. has signed either a multilateral or bilateral agreement, such as a Free Trade Agreement, or the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement, or that have otherwise been designated as TAA eligible (i.e., Least Developed Countries and Caribbean Basin Countries).

A full list of TAA countries is included below and can be found at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.225-5 Trade Agreements (48 C.F.R. § 52.225-5).

Please note, the information below is for informational purposes and only the official FAR designated country list, linked above, should be relied upon.
