Department of Commerce
Export Assistance Center
Expanding markets in Asia and Latin America, coupled with European demand for American products, make it essential that the United States remain continually active in the world trade arena. Export Assistance Centers, established by the Department of Commerce, meet this growing challenge by coordinating the efforts of state programs, federal initiatives and local banks.
Four "one stop shop" export assistance centers were established throughout the country in the early 1990's and are beginning to bring positive results. In accordance with the Commerce Department's National Export Strategy to aggressively promote U.S. trade while streamlining federal export services, since then, 79 additional centers have built upon the early progress.
