US Commercial Service Data Forms Review

The International Trade Administration’s (ITA) Global Markets’ U.S. Commercial Service (CS) is mandated by Congress to broaden and deepen the U.S. exporter base.

Before the CS can provide export-related services to clients, such as assistance with identifying potential partners or providing due diligence, specific information is required to determine the client’s business objectives and needs.

This information collection is designed to elicit such data that appropriate services can be proposed and conducted .

The forms ask U.S. exporters standard questions about their company details, demographic information, export experience, information about the products or services they wish to export and exporting goals.

CS staff use this information to gain an understanding of client’s needs and objectives so that they can provide appropriate and effective export assistance tailored to an exporter’s particular requirements.
