History
In 1955, the Foreign Exchange and Trade Review Commission was established under the Executive Yuan. In 1968 and 1969, the Executive Yuan reorganized the commission by dividing the authority and operation of the commission among the Ministry of Finance, MOEA and Central Bank of China, respectively. The Bureau of Foreign Trade was subsequently established on January 1, 1969, under the MOEA to administer trade in general commercial goods. It was later renamed as International Trade Administration.
