A series of seven Webinars on the basics of exporting kicks off on September 9, 2009, and will continue through December 2, 2009. The biweekly sessions are based on the Department of Commerce’s popular publication A Basic Guide to Exporting, which was recently revised and published in its 10th edition in 2008. (See the September–October 2008 issue of International Trade Update.)

“These Webinars will be an excellent opportunity for companies that are not currently exporting—especially small and medium-sized enterprises—to learn the skills they need to sell to international buyers,” said Doug Barry of the Department of Commerce’s Trade Information Center, which is the primary organizer of the Webinar series.

The first session on September 9, 2009, is titled “Export Basics: How to Identify Potential International Markets for Your Products.” The next six Webinars will be held every other week throughout the fall and will focus on topics such as finding financing, understanding export controls, finding international partners, and using opportunities offered by free trade agreements.

Registration can be made for individual sessions or for all seven sessions. There is a $40 fee per session. Those registering for two or more Webinars will receive a complimentary copy of A Basic Guide to Exporting.
