Companies of all sizes can benefit from exporting their products to markets outside of the United States. Selling to international markets opens your business to the 96% of the world’s consumers located in other countries. These new markets and customers also diversify your customer base and improve your company’s ability to weather changes and seasonal variability in the domestic market.

Trade + Export Services
When American companies sell internationally they benefit from the reputation of the U.S. for innovation, quality and honest business practices.
