We're here to help Alaskan Exporters
The Export Council of Alaska is part of a nationwide network of District Export Councils
WHO WE ARE
The Export Council of Alaska is one of a nationwide network of District Export Councils (DEC’s) intended to foster the international competitiveness of the United States. Nationwide, export councils link together 1,500 leaders of business, government, and academia with the International Trade Administration (ITA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. They serve as an advisory group and communications link between the exporting community and the U.S. Commercial Service of the ITA.
Council Members are select trade specialists dedicated to providing leadership and counsel to the international business community. They are recognized for their knowledge, experience, and ability to influence the environment for exporting in the region they serve. Council members are uniquely qualified to help shape the strategies of individual firms so they can compete more effectively on a global basis.
Each member is appointed to a limited term by the Secretary of Commerce on behalf of the President. This honor demonstrates not only the member’s significant status in Alaska’s trade community but also the high level of service that is expected.
We're here to help Exporters!
The Export Council of Alaska is open to all those that are current exporters of Alaskan products and services and all those that support Alaska exporting.
We offer a number of programs that help new exporters, including help with export regulations, liaison with local exporters and liaison with U.S. Department of Commerce and U.S. Commercial Service assets.
