This is session 2 of 4 in the Buy American Act and Domestic Preference series.

In this webinar, we will introduce the Trade Agreements Act and explore when and how it applies, with a particular focus on how it interacts with the Buy American Act. We will explore how to identify situations where an exception to the TAA may apply, and how to navigate those situations. We will also explore the difference between “substantial transformation” under the TAA, how it differs from “manufacturing” under the BAA, and what those differences mean for compliance with the applicable TAA regulations and contract clauses.

Understand when the Buy American Act and when the Trade Agreements Act applies
