U.S. Commercial Service

The function of the U.S. Commercial Service is to assist U.S. companies in their export development efforts overseas. In particular, the office performs standard services for American firms, such as identifying potential Korean agents or distributors, responding to numerous U.S. business inquiries about the market, and setting up business appointments for U.S. firms. They also prepare short market insight reports and more in-depth market research that is disseminated through the Internet. The Commercial Service's trade promotion program consists of organizing U.S. Pavilions at locally-held trade shows every year, targeting such "best prospect" export sectors as information technology, environment, energy development, tourism, and education. They also cooperate extensively with U.S. city and state governments to host trade missions, and organize "buying missions" composed of Korean business people to attend major trade shows in the U.S. The Commercial Service operates the U.S. Business Center to assist U.S. firms and a U.S. Business Information Center dedicated to helping Korean firms identify supply sources in the U.S. For more information on U.S. Commercial Service Korea, visit their website at www.cskorea-doc.gov.
