ExportUSA

ExportUSA consists of three programs:

• NEBS, the New Exporters to Border States program, focuses on export education and targets Canadian companies considering exporting to the United States. NEBS introduces the essentials of exporting, including practical export information and first-hand exposure to markets in the United States.
• EXTUS, the Exporters to the United States program, formerly known as NEBS Plus, is a program that serves Canadian companies already exporting to the U.S. By combining sessions with industry experts, entry to a major national/regional trade show and a networking opportunity with distributors, representatives and buyers, EXTUS focuses on expanding the markets of successful exporters to other regions of the United States.
• The Reverse NEBS program, serves Canadian companies not yet exporting to the United States by providing seminars in Canada covering the essentials of exporting.

Eligibility Criteria

NEBS - Canadian companies incorporated and operating in Canada, interested in exporting to the U.S. but not yet doing so on a regular basis.

EXTUS - Canadian companies currently exporting to the U.S. with sales of less than CAN$2.3 million.

Reverse NEBS - All Canadian companies interested in becoming exporters to the U.S. A participation fee may be charged.

Canadian companies who wish to participate in any ExportUSA mission or seminar must agree to be entered into the Virtual Trade Commissioner, a database of Canadian exporters and their capabilities.

Summary

How the Program Works

NEBS or EXTUS missions and Reverse NEBS seminars may vary by Canadian province or region in the U.S. depending on the location, the industry sector and the interests of the participants. The program may include the following components:

• information on exporting and export services/programs;
• briefing on border procedures;
• presentations by U.S. manufacturers' reps, sales agents, distributors or buyers;
• briefings by industry experts and overview of regional U.S. markets;
• distribution of exporter's information guide.

NEBS/EXTUS only

• travel to one of the Canadian Consulates in the United States;
• meet with Canadian Consulate trade officers and network with potential agents or distributors;
• visit to a trade show and/or meetings with local wholesalers/retailers.

Program Costs

A non-refundable participation fee of US$100 applies to each company representative participating in a NEBS or EXTUS mission. The fee is payable either by cheque, money order or credit card to the Canadian Consulate hosting the mission.

The government may cover a maximum of CAN$100 towards the cost of an entry fee for one registered company representative to a trade show that forms a part of the mission.

All other costs, such as accommodation, transportation (air or ground) and personal expenses, are the responsibility of the participants.
