SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The U.S. & Foreign Commercial Service Export Assistance Centers
offer their clients DOC programs, market research, and services to
enable the client to begin exporting or to expand existing exporting
efforts.
The Information Services Order Form is used by US&FCS trade
specialists in the Export Assistance Centers to collect information
about clients in order to determine which programs or services would
best help clients meet their export goals. This form is required for
clients to order US&FCS programs and services. Certain programs are
tailored for individual clients, e.g., the Agent Distributor Service,
which identifies potential overseas agents or distributors for a
particular U.S. manufacturer.
The form is being revised because some of the product names have
changed or have been discontinued.

Trade specialists gather information from clients at the Export
Assistance Centers.
