Leverage Trade Agreements to Increase Sales: Canada, Colombia, and Beyond

Export Business Forum- Leverage Trade Agreements to Increase Sales: Canada, Colombia, and Beyond

Global demand for American made goods and services is high and rising. Export sales opportunities are bountiful for small, medium, and large enterprises alike. A growing number of countries are providing preferential tariff and other terms to American exporters.

Meanwhile, a surprising number of trade agreements are emerging worldwide that do not include the United States, putting American exporters at a disadvantage.

Commercial Service Utah invites you to come learn from the experts about how to leverage existing trade agreements, and what is being done to level the playing field for American exporters in other markets, all in order to help you increase export sales.
