USING A BASIC GUIDE TO EXPORTING

A Basic Guide to Exporting is designed to help U.S. firms learn the
costs and risks associated with exporting and develop a strategy
for exporting.  The 10 keys to export success that have been
mentioned well be explored, along with ways to avoid the pitfalls
and roadblocks that may be encountered.  Five appendixes are
provided for reference:  I, Export Glossary; II, Directory of
Federal Export Assistance; III, State and Local Sources of
Assistance; IV, U.S. and Overseas Contacts for Major Foreign
Markets; and V, Selected Bibliography.

The guide discusses what decisions need to be made and where to get
knowledge to make those decisions.  Although it is a publication of
the U.S. Department of Commerce, it directs readers to sources of
assistance throughout the federal and state governments as well as
the private sector.
