Permanent normal trade relations (PNTR)
Permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) is a U.S. designation of trade status with foreign countries. The concept replaced the Most Favored Nation designation, also known as normal trade relations in U.S. law, with the passage of the Jackson-Vanik amendment to the Trade Act of 1974. A country with PNTR status cannot be treated differently than any other country with such a status with respect to international trade. Cuba and North Korea are the only countries which currently do not receive NTR status, but Russia’s and Belarus’s PNTR status was suspended in 2022.
