  • Detailed request
  • Intel product identifying information: Name/Model/Part Number

Background on the US Trade Agreements Act (TAA):

TAA refers to the Trade Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. & 2501-2581), which is intended to foster fair and open international trade.

The TAA contains a list of products and requires that the U.S. Government acquire those products only if they are “Made or substantially transformed in the U.S. or a TAA designated country".

You can view a list of products and TAA designated countries.
