  39. www.trade.gov/tcc Submit your complaint to The TCC’s Trade Complaint Hotline: Report a Trade Barrier

  40. Team escalates the issue by bringing the full weight of the U.S Government to resolve the issue Implementation of Action Plan Team uses leverage of relevant trade agreements: • Bilateral discussions • Multilateral/ WTO fora • FTA negotiations • Additional Diplomatic Tools: • Meetings with foreign officials • Phone calls and letters • Non-papers • Demarches • Visits by Washington officials As a last resort: Team may recommend referral to USTR for WTO Dispute Settlement Body when appropriate

  41. China – Imported Medical Device Regulatory Regime • China’s AQSIQ regulatory agency issues new draft regulation imposing new redundant and burdensome inspection regime for imported medical devices. • DOC partners with USTR and European Commission and engages China using correspondence, bilateral meetings, WTO TBT Trade Committee, and U.S. –China Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade. • After repeated consultations with AQSIQ and Ministry of Commerce, AQSIQ agrees to suspend the measure.

  42. Japan – Medical Device Reviewers • U.S. medical technology industry association concerned that Japan is slow to approve medical device applications for the Japan market. • This “device lag” is partly due to low staffing levels at Japans’ ‘PMDA which reviews product applications. • Delays raise costs for U.S. device manufacturers forcing production lines of obsolete devices to remain active. • DOC urges Japan under U.S.-Japan Regulatory Reform Initiative and MOSS Agreement to increase PMDA staffing and expedite product approvals. • DOC and industry associations efforts result in increase in the number of PMDA reviewers.
