The Technology Trade Regulation Alliance (TTRA) supports member companies with global trade regulation and compliance. We have two primary committees—the Customs Committee and Export Controls Committee—which consist of over 300 trade compliance and policy professionals from leading technology companies. Within our committees, we have targeted Customs Working Groups for classification, valuation, and origin, and Export Control Working Groups for encryption, enforcement, and MEU controls. We also have member-driven working groups for compliance best practices, legislation, foreign country regulatory changes and training.
