Arlington, VA --

EMTC releases its 2023 Trade Priorities for the 118th Congress under the headline "The Year to Formulate a Digital Trade Policy."

Specifically, EMTC is calling on Congress to formulate a digital trade policy that accomplishes the following goals: 1) integrate regulation of digital goods into export and import statutory regimes; 2) simplify cross-border processes by reducing complexity of regulatory requirements; and 3) lead global trade on digital and physical goods by modernizing U.S. laws as a model for our trading partners and multi-lateral institutions.

For more information, contact EMTC CEO Marianne Rowden at mrowden@emtc.org.
