Agent/distributor Service

Agent/distributor Service

Summary of Agent/distributor Service

An export promotion service to industry offered by the International Trade Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The object of the program is to locate foreign firms to serve as agents and distributors for American products. An American firm interested in using the service submits an application, using form ITA-424P, to the Commerce Department giving details of the firm and product he wishes to sell abroad. The completed form is transmitted to an American foreign service post in the target country selected by the exporter; an American trade representative in the target country will seek out interested firms. After about thirty days, the American firm will receive a listing of firms abroad that have expressed interest in the product. A fee of $25 is charged for each country in which the exporter is interested.

Copies of form ITA-424P and details of the program can be obtained by contacting any district office of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
