U.S. Commercial Service Services for U.S. Companies
Every year, the U.S. Commercial Service helps thousands of companies export goods and services worth billions of dollars. The Economic and Commercial Section of the U.S. Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina works closely and regularly with the U.S. Commercial Service office in Serbia to provide assistance to U.S. companies wishing to enter or expand business in the Bosnia and Herzegovina market. Let us help you find the best opportunities for your business in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Proven Trade Expertise. The global network of U.S. Commercial Service (USCS) trade professionals is located throughout the United States and in U.S. Embassies and Consulates in nearly 80 countries. In countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the USCS has no presence, the State Department Economic and Commercial Section of the U.S. Embassy draws on the specialized advice and experience of a nearby CS post to better assist U.S. business clients.

In addition, we will help you to develop trade finance and insurance strategies that align with your particular business objectives and help you complete your export transaction.
