World Marketing Guides & Data
|
This section is the result of over 18 years research into Department of Commerce publications. Since the DOC is prohibited by federal law from advertising about its publications in anything but other DOC publications, most business professionals have never heard of most, if any, of its publications. In addition, few DOC Webpages have meta tags so search engines rarely return DOC pages when searched for.

Want to know how to do business in Mexico, what the business environment is like in Canada, or who to contact to sell things to Brazil? If so, these documents can help.
The task of developing a viable export program can be difficult for a small business, but it's far from impossible, given the resources available from the Department of Commerce's Globus and National Trade Bata Bank (NTDB) services. These documents, from the Department of Commerce, are designed to help American businesses in their attempt to develop new markets outside of the United States. The information below is a fraction of what is available at STAT-USA.
For an overview of Stat-USA services read International Marketing Resources on the Net: A Guide to Using GLOBUS & NTDB. For further information on STAT-USA products and services, visit their Website at www.stat-usa.gov.
