CSUSTL TRADE BLOG
Established in January of 1989, during the GATT Uruguay Round negotiations, the Committee To Support US Trade Laws (CSUSTL), was formed to maintain and advance US trade remedy laws. For the past three decades the group has continued this mission, becoming recognized as the nation's leading advocate for the laws and a trusted repository for technical expertise on their application. This blog provides CSUSTL's unique insights into the technical workings of the laws and the policy behind them to our readers.
