Differences between TAITRA and the International Trade Association of the ROC

I. To clarify confusion between TAITRA with the International Trade Association of the Republic of China, we have listed chief areas of function and structure where the two organizations differ:

1. Attribute: TAITRA is a non-profit trade promotion organization jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, industry associations, and several commercial organizations while the International Trade Association of the Republic of China is a private civic organization.

2. Organization: TAITRA’s board of directors consists of representatives from government authorities, special members assigned by the government and members from industry associations. Government and industry associations are directly involved in TAITRA’s operation while the International Trade Association of the Republic of China is a private civic organization composed of individual members, and government or industry associations are not involved in its operations.

3. Function: TAITRA functions under the supervision of government authorities, legislative institutes and industry associations. Its annual budget is within the fiscal budget plan of government in accordance with the budget law which is examined by the Legislative Yuan. Such accountability dictates that TAITRA have a comprehensive management and supervisory system, while the International Trade Association of the Republic of China is a private civic organization whose management and supervisory systems greatly vary.

 

II. In order not to confuse TAITRA with International Trade Association of the Republic of China and to protect the clients of TAITRA clients, please note:

1. TAITRA believes that the “Client Comes First” and as such treats clients with respect and sincerity. Our staff attempt to let clients understand the service function of TAITRA and provide related information. We refrain from overly aggressive or rude actions to rush clients into signing contracts or make payment.
