General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (gatt) in the International Business Landscape

Definition of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (gatt) in the context of U.S. international business and public trade policy: Early postwar multilateral agreement on trade rules, completed in 1947 as an interim arrangement pending establishment of the projected International Trade Organization (ITO). After Congress failed to ratify the ITO agreement, the articles of the GATT agreement became the basic rules of international trade, and the GATT organization at Geneva the central international institution supporting international negotiations and the reduction of trade barriers. As part of the Uruguay Round agreement, the GATT was superseded by the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 1 January 1995, with all bodies and rules of the GATT as modified by the Uruguay Round agreements becoming part of the WTO.
