Which federal agency primarily oversees the enforcement of international trade regulations?

The Department of Justice
The Federal Trade Commission
The Department of Commerce
The International Trade Administration

The correct answer is: The International Trade Administration

The International Trade Administration is the federal agency primarily responsible for overseeing the enforcement of international trade regulations. This agency operates under the Department of Commerce and is tasked with promoting U.S. exports and ensuring fair trade practices. It plays a crucial role in implementing trade laws and agreements, as well as administering trade remedy laws, such as anti-dumping and countervailing duties, which protect domestic industries from unfair foreign competition. Additionally, the International Trade Administration's work includes providing support and guidance to businesses engaging in international trade and ensuring compliance with international trade rules. This focus on both regulatory compliance and support makes it the central agency in enforcing international trade regulations effectively.
