Export News & Market Intelligence

Country Risk and Reward   There is a risk to every shipment, whether in the U.S. or internationally. When evaluating a strategy for entering a new international market, be aware of potential risks and the resources that can help mitigate that risk. Then you can be as prepared as possible if an adverse event happens. A good understanding of the risks each country holds will protect exporters from loss and liability. To raise your chances for exporting success, check out ITA’s vast array of tools and resources to assess country risks.
