Position Statement
CPA is working hard to advance Buy American policies throughout federal and state governments, going up against powerful import lobby groups who want us to voluntarily do-away with buy local policies.
Strategy Summary
Government procurement gets an exemption from the WTO's National Treatment obligation, which requires that our laws, taxes, and regulations treat imports no less favorably than 'like' domestic products.
