Trade Counseling

Whether you are just getting started in international trade, looking to enter a new international market or need advice on specific international trade issues, you can easily access the knowledge and contacts of the WTCSD Trade Services professional staff, experienced trade experts from the WTCSD membership (international accountants, attorneys, bankers, customs brokers, freight forwarders, and traders from virtually every industry and operating in most countries of the world) or volunteer counselors from affiliated organizations such as the US Department of Commerce, Small Business Administration and World Trade Centers.

International Trade Law

When do legislative changes take effect? Sanctions and restrictions on international trade can be complex and intricate, or vague and open to interpretation. We can direct you to experienced legal guidance.

Business Regulation

Government laws about foreign business may be difficult to translate, and attitudes toward business may change. We have the contacts who know what the law means, and monitor political currents to foresee change.

Cross-cultural Issues

We have hosted individuals and groups from all over the world, and led overseas mission trips from California as well. The WTCSD can help you acclimate to an international environment.
