Exports can mean big profits for a small business.
But when you're just starting out, tariffs, regulatory requirements, distributorship agreements and other legal matters can be a little intimidating. The Export Legal Assistance Network program can help you over these first hurdles. Under the ELAN program, international trade attorneys from the Federal Bar Association provide free initial consultations to small businesses interested in starting export operations. The ELAN attorney will help you identify the export-related legal issues for your product or service and will suggest ways to handle these issues. With this information, you decide the next step.
