What, exactly, is a Trade Mission?
Entering the global marketplace can be daunting, especially for companies that are new to exporting. There's a significant learning curve involved in meeting foreign regulations, and landing customers in other countries can take time and money. One North Dakota Trade Office service that fully-encompasses the guiding principles of the North Dakota Trade Office - 'Trade Expansion through Advocacy, Education and Expertise'- is Trade Missions. Trade Missions can take many forms, depending on the destination as well as the company participating, but the bottom line is facilitating business for companies through face-to-face meetings with potential buyers.

Attend the February Trade Talk: Navigating NAFTA and Free Trade Agreements
Join us next week and arm your staff with the knowledge to take full advantage of recently passed Free Trade Agreements (FTA), while avoiding unnecessary cost and lost opportunities. Many US exporters are not taking full advantage of the benefits offered by FTAs, while others continually find themselves being denied the preferential tariff treatments for their products. The Navigating NAFTA and Free Trade Agreements Trade Talk, hosted by the North Dakota Trade Office on Wednesday, Feb. 8, will cover the main steps in navigating FTA's with a strong emphasis on compliance. Participants will leave with practical tools for completing certification of products, complying with Rules of Origin classifications of goods under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
