If, however, an EDO requests a (GKS) to promote a U.S. company’s goods/services, the size of the company will be used to determine the fee.

Qualifications for Participation

This program is offered to clients of the U.S. Commercial Service.

If your company is not a client of the U.S. Commercial Service but is interested in learning more about our export promotion services, please locate your nearest Export Assistance Center. Most companies with a U.S.-made product available for export overseas will qualify for assistance.

Typically, U.S. exporters will use our services to seek a manufacturer’s representative, distributor, buyers, or franchisees in non-U.S. markets.

We may decline the following for posting to overseas U.S. Commercial Service websites:

• Products of companies that do not provide complete or accurate information when registering.
• Products which, in the local market for which a posting is requested, are currently not viable due to local market regulation or other conditions.
• Products which, if listed in a particular local website’s directory, may hurt the overall effectiveness of the website by offending local norms.
• Products of companies without a functioning online presence (website or webpage), such that we are unable to obtain an appropriate image.

The final determination of the suitability of a listing will be made by the management of each U.S. Commercial Service overseas office for which a listing on the local website is requested, or by the Featured U.S. Exporters Program Manager.

If you are unsure if your company qualifies for participation, please contact a Trade Specialist at your nearest Export Assistance Center.
