After a firm or trade association has

Commerce in the form of a participation 

fee is required. The fees are as follow: 

The participation fee will be $2,200 

for small or medium-sized enterprises 

(SME) and $4,200 for large firms, which 

includes the Business Forum in Istanbul 

and one mission stop. The fee for each 

additional mission stop is $1,200 and 

there will be a $500 fee for each

for additional representatives at the

per attendee. 

If and when an applicant is selected 

to participate on a particular mission, a 

payment to the Department of 

Commerce in the amount of the 

designated participation fee is required. 

Upon notification of acceptance to 

participate, those selected have 5 

business days to submit payment or the 

acceptance may be revoked. 

Participants selected for a trade 

mission will be expected to pay for the 

cost of personal expenses, including, 

but not limited to, international travel, 

lodging, meals, transportation, 

communication, and incidentals, unless 

otherwise noted. Participants will, 

however, be able to take advantage of 

U.S. Government rates for hotel rooms. 

In the event that a mission is cancelled, 

no personal expenses paid in 

anticipation of a mission will be 

reimbursed. However, participation fees 

for a cancelled mission will be 

reimbursed to the extent they have not 

already been expended in anticipation 

of the mission. 

If a visa is required to travel on a 

particular mission, applying for and 

obtaining such a visa will be the 

responsibility of the mission 

participant. Government fees and 

processing expenses to obtain such a 

visa are not included in the 

participation fee. However, the 

Department of Commerce will provide 

instructions to each participant on the 

procedures required to obtain business 

visas. 

Trade mission members participate in 

trade missions and undertake missionrelated travel at their own risk. The 

nature of the security situation in a 

given foreign market at a given time 

cannot be guaranteed. The U.S. 

Government does not make any 

representations or guarantees as to the 

safety or security of participants. The 

U.S. Department of State issues U.S. 

Government international travel alerts 

and warnings for U.S. citizens available 

at https://travel.state.gov/content/ 

passports/en/alertswarnings.html. Any 

question regarding insurance coverage 

must be resolved by the participant and 

its insurer of choice. 

Travel and in-person activities are 

contingent upon the safety and health 

conditions in the United States and the 

mission countries. Should safety or 

health conditions not be appropriate for 

travel and/or in-person activities, the 

Department will consider postponing 

the event or offering a virtual program 

in lieu of an in-person agenda. In the 

event of a postponement, the 

Department will notify the public and 

applicants previously selected to 

participate in this mission will need to 

confirm their availability but need not 

reapply. Should the decision be made to 

organize a virtual program, the 

Department will adjust fees accordingly, 

prepare an agenda for virtual activities, 

and notify the previously selected 

applicants with the option to opt-in to 

the new virtual program. 

Timeframe for Recruitment and 

Applications 

Mission recruitment will be 

conducted in an open and public 

manner, including publication in the 

Federal Register, posting on the 

Department of Commerce trade mission 

calendar (http://export.gov/ 

trademissions) and other internet 

websites, press releases to general and 

trade media, direct mail, notices by 

industry trade associations and other 

multiplier groups, and publicity at
