🇬🇧 English

The International Trade Administration is raising and revising user fees for export and investment promotion services and events. The change is meant to make those services recover their full operating costs after a cost study found that current fees were too low. Businesses that use U.S. Commercial Service programs, trade events, matchmaking, market entry support, or investment promotion services should expect updated prices starting July 22, 2026. Companies may want to review the new fee schedule before budgeting for export support or participating in ITA programs.
