The U.S. Commercial Service Advocacy Center

“A Basic Guide to Exporting” is a step-by-step process delineated by the US Commercial Service to help American companies in exporting endeavors.

As an exporter of American goods and services, you have the full backup of many US Gov’t agencies ready to leverage its official muscle abroad.

More specifically, attaining a foreign government contract is a complicated matter, the majority of the times, because foreign governments have complex and ambiguous rules. So, exporting and selling your awesome product or service may need more than just the “know-how” of business, it needs someone who can navigate the intricacies of “Doing Business” in that foreign market.

Nonetheless, transparency and openness can be reached if you seek out the US Advocacy Center, who can “coordinate the actions of 20 US Government agencies involved in international trade” which may include the assistance from an American Embassy in that particular country, a high-ranking US Government official, and much more.

Lastly, you and your company may want to do a PESTEL analysis and test-the-waters of foreign direct investment with small pilot programs that collect direct SWOT data for your larger future endeavors.
