Permanent Normal Trade Relations
The status of permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) is a legal designation in the United States for free trade with a foreign state. The designation was changed from ''most favored nation'' (MFN) to ''normal trade relations'' by Section 5003 of the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998. ''Permanent'' was added to ''normal trade relations'' some time later. In international trade, MFN status (or treatment) is awarded by one country to another. It means that the receiving nation will be granted all trade advantages, such as low tariffs, that any other country also receives. Thus, a country with MFN status will not be discriminated against and will not be treated worse than any other country with MFN status. Applicability Granting of permanent normal trade relations status is automatic, except where specifically denied by law. Embargoes also apply to additional parties; see United States embargoes.
