The United States Foreign Commercial Service (FCS) hosted the seminar " Doing business with the US" on February 25 to educate Salvadoran companies about its services that facilitate trade between the U.S. and El Salvador.

At the seminar, the FCS promoted its programs for: finding distributors and providers of services and equipment; trade shows in the U.S.; its magazine 'Commercial News USA' as well as a variety of other programs.  Additional speakers provided information on import regulations and explain the necessary procedures and documentation to benefit from CAFTA, highlight financial products for Salvadoran importers, and give details on the visa application process.
