International Trade

New York City  is one of the most important centers of international trade in the world. Every day, all kinds of consumer goods, commodities, and professional services are exported and imported by New York City area companies through the metropolitan region's airports and seaports. Many U.S. businesses can increase their bottom line by tapping into foreign customers among the 96% of the world's population found outside of the borders of the United States. 

The  Thomas Yoseloff Business Center  of  The New York Public Library  can direct you to the resources and programs to research potential international business opportunities. Get an overview of the available resources and services in our International Trade Resource Guide.
