Needs and Uses: The International Trade Administration's (ITA)
Global Markets' U.S. Commercial Service (CS) is mandated by Congress to
broaden and deepen the U.S. exporter base. ITA accomplishes this by
providing counseling, programs and services to help U.S. organizations
export and conduct business in overseas markets. This information
collection package enables the CS to provide appropriate export
services to U.S. exporters and international buyers.
ITA offers a variety of services to enable clients to begin
exporting or to expand existing exporting efforts. Clients may learn
about our services from business related entities such as the National
Association of Manufacturers, Federal Express, State Economic
Development offices, the internet or word of mouth. The CS provides a
standard set of services to assist clients with identifying potential
overseas partners, establishing meeting programs with appropriate
overseas business contacts and providing due diligence reports on
potential overseas business partners. The CS also provides other
export-related services considered to be of a ``customized nature''
because they do not fit into the standard set of CS export services but
are driven by unique business needs of individual clients.
Before the CS can provide export-related services to clients, such
as assistance with identifying potential partners or providing due
diligence, specific information is required to determine the client's
business objectives and needs. For example, before a service can be
provided to identify potential business partners, it is necessary to
know whether the client would like a potential partner to have specific
technical qualifications, coverage in a specific market, English or
foreign language ability or warehousing requirements. This information
collection is designed to elicit such data so that appropriate services
can be proposed and conducted to most effectively meet the client's
exporting goals. Without these forms the CS is unable to provide
services when requested by clients.
The forms ask U.S. exporters standard questions about their company
details, demographic information, export experience, information about
the products or services they wish to export and exporting goals. A few
questions are tailored to a specific program type and will vary
slightly with each program. CS staff use this information to gain an
understanding of client's needs and objectives so that they can provide
appropriate and effective export assistance tailored to an exporter's
particular requirements.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; Not-
for-profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal government; and
Federal government.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Public Law 15 U.S.C. et seq. and 15 U.S.C. 171 et
seq.
