See India as a Mega-Market with Tremendous Export Opportunity: The Trade Information Center’s India Business Center and the U.S.-India Business Council will host a one-day seminar on “Accelerating Inclusive Growth: The Future of the U.S.-India Commercial Relationship.” This intensive event is designed to help business executives from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) unlock sales potential in India. As part of President Obama’s National Export Initiative to double exports over the next five years, the U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service has targeted India as one of the most promising markets for U.S. SMEs. This seminar will feature high-level government officials as well as representatives from the U.S- India Business Council and the private sector. It will offer practical export-related information on: Accessing Indian market (customs issues, including import regulations, duties and taxes, and export documentation); Protecting patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets; Financing exports to India; and Identifying best prospects and market entry strategies. This program is most suitable for companies that have done some exporting, but have not previously explored export opportunities in India.
