ICC helps your company grow beyond borders
Understanding the basics of trade: trade opportunities, product visibility and IP assets
Identify trade opportunities with the Global Trade Helpdesk, get to know the basics of trade with tailored guides and courses, showcase your products with the ATA Carnet, and learn to leverage your intellectual property assets with an IP diagnostics tool.
Identify Trade Opportunities
The first step in your trade journey is to explore commercial opportunities internationally. This will involves conducting initial market research to identify potential customers or suppliers in foreign markets. Detect where demand for your goods and services will come from, classify your product for customs purposes, check for any benefits from regional trade agreements and explore available distribution methods.
ICC has partnered with the International Trade Centre to promote the Global Trade Helpdesk, a one-stop-shop to explore trade opportunities and access information about imports, market dynamics, tariffs, regulatory requirements, and potential buyers.

ICC Academy

Showcase your products
Out of sight, out of mind. To secure visibility in foreign markets, successful exporters frequently showcase their products trade fairs, exhibitions and roadshows with potential customers and distributors. This is a powerful means to build demand for your products and establish relationships with potential customers.
