Which Countries Are TAA Compliant?

TAA-designated countries include the United States and a defined list of trade partners: WTO Government Procurement Agreement members such as the EU, USA, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, plus free-trade-agreement partners. Major manufacturing countries including China and Vietnam are not designated, so products made there are generally not TAA compliant.

The Short Answer

TAA-designated countries include the United States and a defined list of trade partners: WTO Government Procurement Agreement members such as the EU, USA, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, plus free-trade-agreement partners. Major manufacturing countries including China and Vietnam are not designated, so products made there are generally not TAA compliant.

02

How the List Is Defined

The designated-countries list lives in the Federal Acquisition Regulation and draws on the WTO Government Procurement Agreement, US free-trade agreements, the Caribbean Basin program, and least-developed countries. It changes over time, so a live procurement should be checked against the list in force.

  • //
    Taiwan A WTO GPA party and a designated country, so Taiwan-made hardware generally qualifies.
  • //
    China Not designated; China-made products do not qualify as TAA compliant.
  • //
    Vietnam Not a designated country; Vietnam-made products generally do not qualify.

NVIDIA manufactures Jetson modules across the US, Taiwan, Vietnam, and China. The US and Taiwan-made part numbers are the compliant ones; the determination comes down to the specific part number and its country of manufacture.
