The Commercial Service has an expanded service reach in China. Get export assistance in 14 additional major business centers across China: Dalian, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Harbin, Kunming, Nanjing/Jiangsu Province, Ningbo, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Wuhan, Xiamen, Xi'an/Shaanxi Province and Zhuhai.

This comes to you through the U.S.-China International Partner Network agreement which establishes service centers in these 14 cities under the American Trading Center initiative. Earlier this year, U.S. Commerce Acting Under Secretary for International Trade Tim Hauser and China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) Chairman Wan Jifei signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to launch the new network broadening export opportunities for American companies in China.

How the ATC Initiative can benefit your company:

• It expands the U.S. Commercial Service presence in China, providing U.S. companies with access to 14 additional markets in China.
• This expanded market reach is the result of the U.S. Commercial Service’s partnership with the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT). The purpose of the partnership is to foster new relationships between U.S. and Chinese small and medium-size companies in these 14 key Chinese business centers, generating new opportunities for U.S. SMEs in the China market.
• The value for your company is “feet on the street”. Our Commercial Service offices in China can leverage CCPIT professionals who are on the ground in these cities, enabling the Commercial Service to provide companies with more reliable information about prospective business partners, collect more accurate market research, and arrange trade events in these cities while guaranteeing the same quality CS service.
