USPS offers support to national export initiative

USPS will expand its outreach to small and medium sized businesses interested in entering into new export markets through global shipping solutions. USPS is expanding its partnership with the US Department of Commerce to support the newly established National Export Initiative (NEI).

Through its Global Business team, USPS will build on its alliance partnership with the Commerce Department’s International Trade Administration (ITA) to encourage and support small- and medium-sized businesses interested in establishing or expanding exports of their products to markets worldwide.

“The global market for goods produced in the US is open to businesses both large and small,” said John E. Potter, postmaster general and chief executive officer. “Our global shipping services open the gateway to the globe for American exports. We’re pleased to participate in the NEI to support economic growth here at home.”

At a speech before the National Press Club on 4 February, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke announced a series of new proposals for the NEI. “Today, less than 1% of America’s 30m companies export – a percentage that is also significantly lower than all other developed countries,” said Locke. “And of US companies that do export, 58% export to only one country.”
