Export Assistance

TheĀ Greater Gainesville Chamber has partnered with Enterprise Florida and the U.S. Commercial Service to offer international trade consulting services in Gainesville. The trade office is located at the Chamber offices at 300 E University Ave., Ste. 100. As part of the Chamber’s Export Gainesville Initiative, the international trade office is staffed one day per month (first Wednesday of each month) by international trade specialists from Enterprise Florida and the U.S. Commercial Service.

In addition to export counseling, area businesses can avail themselves of the many export promotion services offered by both Enterprise Florida and the U.S. Commercial Service. The best part is, the cost of this opportunity is included in your Chamber membership!
