The Department of Commerce and the office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) have created International Trade Advisory Committees to provide US government officials with private sector expertise and counsel in a multitude of areas related to international trade and commerce. The International Trade Advisory Center administers these groups under the auspices of the Trade Act of 1974.

The committee is particularly active in providing input as it relates to technical advice pertinent to existing and potential barriers to trade, as well as consultation linked to the negotiation of new free trade agreements, as well as changes and implementation issues connected to existing commercial accords. The purpose of the participation of Djaagou-a and his fellow ITAC members is to lend knowledge and advice that benefit “U.S. businesses, workers and the economy as a whole.”
