Entrepreneurs and small business owners like you drive innovation, strengthen the U.S.’s competitive edge, and create good jobs for American workers.

U.S. providers of service exports not only realize substantial business growth; they also play a major role in fortifying the U.S. economy. In fact, since 1971, the U.S. service sector has generated trade surplus that has consistently reduced the U.S. trade deficit.

In spite of this, Facebook’s usage and revenue have continued to climb.

In its simplest terms, exporting is the sale and transport of a good or service to another country. Increased exports means business growth, and business growth means bigger profits for U.S. companies—and results in more jobs for American workers.

There are many ways to become involved in exporting, from selling to domestic buyers who then export your product to exporting products yourself (commonly referred to as “direct exporting”).
