Our team of more than 1,800 trade professionals in 105 U.S. cities and 151 U.S. Embassies, Consulates and Trade Centers around the world helps companies navigate the sometimes complex international trade process. In Bulgaria, the U.S. Commercial Service works closely with government officials and local companies to identify business opportunities, encourage open and transparent markets, and facilitate potential partnerships between Bulgarian and American companies.
