This guide is the U.S. government’s most comprehensive and widely distributed export resource, a listing of all federal government programs that aid U.S. companies in exporting their goods and services around the world. Nineteen different agencies have united to offer this publication and the many programs to help American firms succeed in the global marketplace. Dedicated to improving federal trade promotion programs, these agencies comprise the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC).

For example, Asia Now and Access Eastern Mediterranean are two initiatives that provide exporters with a single point of access for information on regional trade events, business counseling and marketing services, and market research specific to their respective regions. Other regionally focused resources include the China Business Information Center and the Middle East Business Information Center. These centers make available comprehensive Web sites and both offer access to a call center staffed by trade specialists.

For additional information on the listings in this guide or for any export questions you have, please contact the Trade Information Center (TIC), of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The TIC is the first stop for information on federal export assistance programs plus general, regional, and country counseling. The TIC has a team of international trade specialists available to give you tailored export assistance.
