Gold Key Service

Face-to-face meetings with potential partners are the most effective tools the U.S. business community can use to increase exports and expand business operations abroad.  U.S. Commercial Service Colombia offers a complete package for the businessperson visiting this country to meet with potential business partners.  Prior to your trip we will work with you to identify appropriate agents, distributors, joint venture partners, procurement officials, and others you should meet to accomplish your goals while here.

We will schedule appointments with the key officials, and even arrange for a car, driver and translator if so desired.

* A Small or Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME) is defined as a firm with 500 or fewer employees or self-certified as a small business under SBA regulations. A large company is defined as a firm with more than 500 employees. Subsidiaries will be classified based on the size of the parent company.

**Expedited service 100% additional to the regular price. (Minimum three weeks' notice) Interpreter-Escort: $200 to $250 per day (8 hrs). $30 for ea additional hour.

We can also make hotel reservations for you at special Embassy discount rates. Please take note that, in order to benefit from the discount hotel rates, reservations must be made by the U.S. Commercial Service in Colombia.  

You will benefit from a briefing with the American Officer and the Commercial Specialist responsible for your industry sector, and an illustrative study of direct import costs for your products to help you set appropriate pricing for this market.

Please send details and product literature (no products, no samples) by first-class U.S. mail, from the nearest Post Office, to our Diplomatic Mail Center address. Plan ahead, as it will take approximately four weeks for us to receive your brochures through this mail service.  Also, keep in mind that we require 30 business days advance notice.
