Brazil The US Brazil Commercial Dialogue

U.S.-Brazil Commercial Dialogue 

Trade between countries is complicated. Language and cultural differences can create challenges. In addition, countries’ unique ways of doing business can often slow or inhibit bilateral trade and investment and create non-tariff barriers to trade. The U.S.-Brazil Commercial Dialogue is a partnership between the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry, Foreign Trade & Services, with the goal of fostering and growing bilateral trade and investment by working to PREVENT, REDUCE and REMOVE non-tariff barriers to trade. 

Created in 2006, the Commercial Dialogue brings together technical experts to share knowledge, experience, and problem-solving ideas on topics important to our business communities. The working groups that make up the Dialogue have a substantive agenda and ambitious work plans on issues that stand in the way of growing bilateral trade and investment. Although formally a government-government initiative, the Dialogue team works with the business communities in both countries to identify problems, and more importantly, solutions to facilitate trade. Through site visits, training sessions, workshops, and video conferences we have built bridges to better understand technical trade issues.  
 
Key topics include: 

  • Customs and Trade Facilitation
  • Good Regulatory Practices
  • Standards & Conformity Assessment
  • Intellectual Property Protection
  • Standards and Metrology
  • Trade in the Digital Economy

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
