Finding Qualified U.S. Suppliers
Question
We want to find quality U.S. products to import and distribute in Iraq. How can we identify and communicate with U.S. firms that want to export to Iraq? Can the U.S. Commercial Service provide such services or information?
Answer
U.S. Commercial Service
The U.S. Commercial Service is a unit of the U.S. Department of Commerce, and is the largest U.S. Government agency involved in trade promotion. It is the primary contact for U.S. exporters and Qatari importers.
If you are an Iraqi importer, the U.S. Commercial Service in Iraq will provide you with information on
- U.S. firms seeking representation in Iraq.
- New products from the United States available for exports.
- Announcements of forthcoming events and visitors.
Please note that regional offices in the Gulf are often used as a location by many U.S. firms.
