Basics of International Trade
Are there export opportunities for small businesses?
Consider this: 95% of the world’s population is outside of the United States. This population represents 70% of the world’s purchasing power. Small and medium-sized exporters accomplish about 97% of all U.S. exports. In 2011, total U.S. exports of goods and services reached a record $2.10 trillion.
Export specialists will review:
- Exporting and export licensing requirements (overview)
- How to find overseas markets and make contacts
- Methods and channels for exporting
- Shipping your product
- How to get paid
- Using a customs broker/freight forwarder and the fees involved
- Basic information on import requirements
