The US Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration offers a wealth of free and low cost services and the Bureau of Industry and Security has an online Export Training Room with valuable webinars that can be used for self-training. You can also contact your local office of the Small Business Administration for free or low cost export counseling. An additional resource that recently came to our attention is ExportU. Developed by the Small Business Development Center, International Trade Center at the University of Georgia in close partnership with the US Department of Commerce, Export Assistance Center, ExportU offers a very valuable series on online training modules for New-To-Export companies. If you are new to exporting we suggest spending some time using ExportU as an entry level platform for general export training. Give it a try…..
