A17: Actually no! It’s simply an effective way to do business. Export Promotion Tools and services are present in all industrial countries around the world, and our research shows a correlation between the number of such tools and the degree of success of the export industry in a specific market (India and China are good examples). Export to the United States is designed to help international exporters and American buyers find each other
Q18: Is Export to the United States an Online Business Directory? If not, how is it different?
A18: No. In fact, we have our own Online Business Directory, which contains more than 1.2 million American businesses and is offered for free. The main differences between Export to the United States and an Online Business Directory are:
1- Export to the United States has a specific niche market with limited number of users, whereas a Business Directory contains millions. Listing your Inquiry to Buy with us therefore allows you to stand out in the marketplace
2- Export to the United States contains only Inquiries to Buy from the United States. Compare that to a Business Directory, which contains any and every business
3- Export to the United States is a safe, secure and reliable way of breaking into new markets and/or increasing market share for companies around the world
4- Export to the United States is always travelling the globe in search of new markets, opportunities and buyers. In comparison, a Business Directory is simply a static online tool, a passive online resource
Q19: What is the method of payment? Will I be asked to give my bank account information or credit card number over the phone?
A19: No, we recognize that most international exporters have not used our services before and do not us. So, we never ask for any personal or confidential information such as bank account information or credit card numbers. Rather, we use the services of well-known third party services, such as PayPal or Interac money transfer

A20: Yes, every Inquiry to Buy has its own deadline (expiry date) which is listed next to that Inquiry
