Product Highlights

Tap into the growing global demand for U.S. products with these in-demand categories. From everyday essentials to specialty favorites, this list is designed to help you identify opportunities currently relevant to international buyers looking for high-quality American goods.

Fats and Oils

The U.S.’s agricultural diversity yields a wide selection of edible oils and fats. Soybean oil, the most widely used edible oil in the world, is a versatile cooking oil and ingredient in many food products. Other cooking oils that are low in saturated fat include canola, corn, safflower, and sunflower oil. Flax seed oil, known for its high omega-3 fatty acid content, is popular as a salad oil and a nutritional supplement.

Other popular products in this segment:

• Butter

• Margerine/spreads

• Tallow/ meat fats

• Shortening

• Cooking/baking sprays

• Many cutting-edge formulations and custom blends

Condiments, Sauces, Jams, and Jellies

From spicy to sweet and subtle accents to bold flavors, the products in this category reflect the ethnic and cultural diversity of the U.S. Passion for barbeque (BBQ) is evident in the distinctive assortment of BBQ sauces made by local companies. New England traditions are also on display in the variety of specialty products enhanced with the flavor of maple syrup.

Largest categories of exported condiments and sauces:

• Asian marinades and sauces

• BBQ sauce

• Croutons

• Hot sauce

• Hummus

• Maple-flavored sauces

• Honey-flavored sauces and dressings

• Meat coatings, glazes, marinades, and rubs

• Mustard and ketchup

• Nut-based spread/nut butter

• Pizza and pasta sauces

• Pickled vegetables and relishes

• Preserves

• Salad dressings and vinegars

• Sauce/soup mixes and bases

• Spreads

Food for Thought

Communicating with International Business Contacts

If you are a U.S. company looking to export and work with international importers or if you are already an experienced exporter, there are many nuances and things you should consider when communicating with business contacts from different countries and cultures. Here, we highlight some of the most critical issues when communicating with your international contacts.

Language/Word Choice

• Write or speak with awareness that non-native English speakers and non-U.S. audiences may be reading or listening.

• Keep abbreviations, jargon, and slang to a minimum.

• If giving a presentation that is being translated, be mindful of pace and whether interpretation is simultaneous or consecutive.

Abbreviations and Acronyms

Before using an acronym, the full term should be spelled out in its first use with the abbreviation in parentheses following the mention.

• All subsequent mentions in the piece may use the acronym without parentheses.

• Example – “Thanks to the helpful market overview we received from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) while on a recent trade mission, we were able to understand the local retail landscape better than before. The USDA has many helpful programs for U.S. suppliers looking to expand their international presence.

• Avoid using U.S. state abbreviations that won’t be widely known to those outside the U.S.

– Example: use “Massachusetts” instead of “MA.”

Names and Titles

• In some cultures, the person’s surname (aka last name or family name) is written first, and a person’s given name (first name) is written second (ex., China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam). This is the opposite of how most people in the U.S. write their names.

• Some cultures traditionally have two surnames (Spanish-speaking countries).

• Some individuals may ask to be called by a preferred English name, ex. “Daisy” over their given name.

Addressing New Contacts

• It is recommended to try to ascertain the preferred honorific (title) of new contacts to avoid any embarrassing assumptions; providing your own title may also be helpful in certain settings.

• Many cultures outside the U.S. are more formal in how they address business contacts in writing and person. Start addressing new contacts more formally (ex., Dear Ms. Greenfield/Mr. Greenfield) and follow their lead for when to relax to a more casual address.

• When handing out or being handed a business card, do so with both hands; this is particularly important in Asia.

Dates

When communicating with anyone outside the U.S., dates should be formatted as Day-MonthYear rather than Month-Day-Year.

• To avoid any potential miscommunication, it may be best to spell out the month and include the day of the week: Tuesday, January 12, 2021, or Tuesday, January 12, 2021 – rather than using all numbers.

Times

Some countries utilize the 12-hour clock (a.m. and p.m.) and some use the 24-hour clock (military time). Therefore, it is best to include the a.m. or p.m. if the 12-hour clock is used.

• Time Zones

– When scheduling a call or meeting with people across different time zones, be sure to check the time of all participants. (World Time Buddy is a good site for this.) When sending an invitation, clearly state the time

in all participant’s time zones. If the time zone spans days, be sure to include that information.

· Example: 8 a.m. Chicago/9 a.m. Philadelphia/2 p.m. London/4 p.m. Cairo/ 5 p.m. Moscow

· Example: 8 a.m. CST/9 a.m. EST/2 p.m. GST

· Example: Thursday, July 1, 9 p.m. Chicago/ Friday, July 2, 11 a.m. Kuala Lumpur

• When joining a call, recall the time of day for the other participants and greet them according to the time of day in their location rather than yours.

• Daylight Savings Time

– The time changes to reflect daylight savings time do not happen uniformly on the same day worldwide. When scheduling an international call or meeting in late February/March or October/November, check when the time change will happen in the relevant countries to avoid confusion.

Currency

• When referring to U.S. currency, use the U.S. abbreviation before the dollar sign – US$- to avoid confusion between other currencies.

• In many English-speaking countries, the comma is used as a placeholder between thousands, and the period is used to separate decimals. $1,234,567.89 In most non-Englishspeaking countries, the comma and period are reversed. €1.234.567,89

Telephone Numbers

• Telephone numbers globally likely have a combination of prefixes for country and city codes in addition to the telephone number. In a telephone number such as +52 998 123 4789, the +52 prefix indicates the country code for Mexico, which must be dialed first.

This is by no means an exhaustive list; it is intended to aid suppliers in avoiding common areas of miscommunication. Overall, in working with international business contacts, it helps to operate with the Platinum Rule in mind: “Treat others as they would like to be treated” rather than just the Golden Rule (“Treat others as you would like to be treated.”) Keeping differences in mind will help to make the best possible impression on new buyers.

Export Essentials Online

Every buyer, sale, and export market is unique. Even transactions with the same buyer can vary, which is why ongoing training and education are crucial for successful exporting. One of the most common pitfalls for suppliers is not fully understanding the export process until after receiving an order. Additionally, importers are more likely to choose partners who understand the "language" of trade and how to navigate the specific requirements of their markets.

Would you feel confident importing food from a supplier who was unfamiliar with the process? Recognizing the importance of continual learning, Food Export has developed several platforms to help suppliers build the skills and knowledge needed for export success. One of the most essential tools is Export Essentials Online, offering comprehensive resources to guide you in every step of your export journey

Export Essentials Online is a series of eleven training modules designed to help small- and mediumsized companies with limited export experience navigate the process of bringing value-added food products to the global market. Whether you’re new to exporting, returning after a break, or already exporting to some markets but looking to sharpen your skills, these modules provide a practical, up-todate, and informative way to achieve your exporting goals.

The main goals of Export Essentials Online are:

• Determine your company's export readiness

• Build a support network of public and private export assistance

• Research and target your top markets for export

• Create an export marketing and operational strategy

• Make profitable use of export promotional activities

• Prepare accurate and competitive responses to trade leads

• Understand export logistics, documentation, and procedures

• Consider export payment methods that best suit your company

• Integrate all the elements of the export transaction

• Obtain confidence and competence and meet buyer expectations

How to Use Export Essentials Online

Export Essentials Online is designed to follow a logical sequence, starting with the first module for those planning to go through the entire series. However, many companies use it as a resource to address specific needs, such as questions that arise during negotiations or transactions. You can easily jump in and out of any module, and the platform will save your progress for when you return or allow you to restart if needed.

Be sure to download the companion guide and other resources – available as PDFs –before diving into the content. Each module is

structured to inform, illustrate key concepts, and provide valuable resources for those looking to strengthen their export skills. You can even test your knowledge with pop quizzes along the way, complete with hints to help you learn from any missed answers.

MODULE 1

EXPORTING: THE TIME IS RIGHT

It’s widely known that 95% of the world’s population and 75% of the world’s purchasing power are outside the U.S., presenting billions

of potential opportunities. But is now the right time for your company to begin or expand its export activities? The goal of this first module is to give you a clear understanding of the current consumer-oriented food market, highlighting key differences between domestic and export marketing, providing an economic overview, and introducing the public and private agencies available to support your specific export needs and questions.

MODULE 2 UNDERSTANDING THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM AND PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION

The second module provides an overview of the Harmonized System (HS) and its crucial role in international trade. It explains the differences between HS Codes, Schedule B Numbers, and Schedule A Numbers – emphasizing that Schedule A is for imports into the U.S., while Schedule B is used for exports. The module highlights why having an accurate HS code is essential for several key export activities, from identifying top overseas markets to completing Free Trade and Trade Promotion Agreements, analyzing duties and taxes, and more.

You’ll learn how to find your correct HS Code and Schedule B Number using tools like the 3CE Commodity Code Classification Engine. This process is foundational to developing an export business once your company has committed to entering international markets. Since every product exported or imported must reference these codes, having a solid understanding of HS Codes and Schedule B Numbers is essential for your product line. This knowledge will also be critical when evaluating duties, taxes, and conducting market research, making it an important early step for any exporter.

MODULE 3

CONDUCTING EXPORT MARKET RESEARCH

This module guides suppliers through the steps of conducting export market research, which is essential for making informed export decisions. Effective research will reveal the economic, socio-political, and cultural factors that can

either facilitate or challenge your market entry. When done right, this process helps companies select, segment, target, and position their products in international markets. While export opportunities can come from anywhere in the world, understanding where and how your products are consumed is key to building a successful export strategy.

The companion guide walks you through the steps of secondary market research using available resources, with a special focus on reports from the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and the Global Agricultural Information Network (GAIN). It also covers how to examine tariff treatment, including duties, taxes, and other fees, through Customs Info. Additionally, you’ll learn how to access export statistical data and conduct primary market research using Food Export tools like the Market Builder program.

MODULE 4

NAVIGATING FREE TRADE AND TRADE PROMOTION AGREEMENTS

This module helps suppliers understand how to navigate Free Trade Agreements (FTA) and Trade Promotion Agreements (TPA). It provides a clear example of tariff analysis for targeted markets and outlines the steps needed to qualify products for FTAs/TPAs using the rule of origin. You'll also learn how to check the tariff elimination schedule to determine if your products are exempt from duties, or if not, when they will be.

This module includes updates on key agreements like the United States-MexicoCanada Agreement (USMCA) and the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement (USJTA). The companion guide offers additional resources, including media links to all FTA/TPA materials, to help you stay informed and take full advantage of these agreements in your export strategy.

MODULE 5 EXPORT PRICING AND QUOTING

Module 5 focuses on developing an effective export pricing strategy, both from an internal company perspective and in terms of the buyer’s "landed cost." This module uses an

Export Essentials Online (cont.)

example from Sammy’s Snack Foods, which has secured a lead through Food Export’s Online Product Catalog (OPC). The company must now determine an export price and create a quotation based on the buyer’s request.

This module covers key aspects of export pricing, including:

• Common pricing strategies for value-added food products.

• An introduction to Incoterms and their role in defining shipping responsibilities.

• How the involvement of an international freight forwarder can impact pricing and the creation of a proforma invoice quotation.

These topics guide suppliers through setting competitive export prices while accounting for the full cost of delivering goods to international buyers.

MODULE 6

UNDERSTANDING INTERNATIONAL TERMS OF SALE

Module 6 dives into Incoterms, the internationally recognized terms of sale, and how they affect export transactions. It explains how using different Incoterms can change the structure of proforma quotations, helping you understand the implications for shipping, responsibilities, and costs.

The module also provides a list of recommended resources, including helpful videos, to further your understanding of Incoterms and their role in international trade.

MODULE 7 UNDERSTANDING EXPORT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

Module 7 provides a comprehensive review of the various distribution systems available to exporters. It outlines the key players in international shipping, such as food export consolidators, freight forwarders, and other carriers.

This module covers essential international shipping documents, including Ocean Bills of Lading and Air Waybills, and provides guidance on packaging goods for export, considering factors like density, dimensionalization, and consolidation. It also touches on the importance of marine cargo insurance to protect your shipments.

The companion guide includes sample ocean bills of lading and air waybills, both from the carrier and in consolidation, along with container specifications and access to the Agricultural International Transportation Handbook in the resource section.

MODULE 8

NAVIGATING EXPORT REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR FOOD PRODUCTS

Module 8 provides an in-depth look at the regulatory requirements for exporting food products. It starts with national export requirements, such as filing the Electronic Exporter Information (EEI), before diving into the complexities of regulations for different food categories. While documentation for items like animal protein and alcoholic beverages is often clear, the regulations for processed foods can vary significantly depending on cultural, political, and geographic factors.

The example supplier in this module must navigate differing regulations for her snack food products, as her target markets vary widely. The module highlights the importance of understanding these distinctions to ensure compliance and successful market entry.

The companion guide offers a helpful chart outlining the regulatory requirements for various food products across multiple countries, along with web links to resources and tips for navigating these regulations efficiently.

MODULE 9

PREPARING COMMERCIAL EXPORT DOCUMENTATION

This module provides an overview of the key documentary requirements for exporting, both product-specific and market-specific. It covers essential documents such as consular and commercial invoices, shipper’s letter of instruction (SLI), pre-shipment inspections, certificates of origin, and both inland and ocean bills of lading as well as air waybills.

The module explains the roles of the supplier, buyer, and international freight forwarder in preparing and managing these documents. The companion guide offers examples of eight different export documents, many fully completed, to give you a clear understanding of their format and the required information.

MODULE 10 GETTING PAID FOR YOUR EXPORT SALES

Module 10 provides a detailed overview of how importers pay companies for their exports, focusing on developing effective payment policies and procedures. Key topics include:

• Analyzing the risk and cost tradeoffs of different payment methods.

• Preparing necessary documentation.

• Guiding buyers on how to open a letter of credit (LC) and tips for avoiding discrepancies.

You’ll learn that each payment method carries its own risks and costs, which must be evaluated and negotiated before shipping to ensure proper pricing and smooth transactions. The companion guide includes steps for organizing export payments, flowcharts on collections, and examples of payment documents like drafts and letters of instruction for LCs, along with glossaries of payment terms.

MODULE 11

MEETING WITH FOREIGN BUYERS

The final module prepares suppliers for faceto-face interactions with foreign buyers. By completing Modules 1-10 and answering the accompanying test questions, you should be ready for various buyer meetings, aligning

perfectly with Food Export's promotional opportunities.

In this module, the example supplier is developing an annual export plan, deciding which markets to promote with support from Food Export’s Branded Program, and considering whether to exhibit at trade shows through Food Show PLUS! or attend a Focused Trade Mission. The example also explores taking advantage of Buyers Missions while continuing their export education and training.

The companion guide provides helpful tips on preparing to meet foreign buyers, including links to resources on selecting the right markets, running export data, and checking duties and taxes. You'll also find advice on how to read buyer profiles, communicate with buyers ahead of events, and follow up after trade shows or missions. Suggestions for crafting a solid quotation based on buyer requests are included as well.

Food Export's Export Essentials Online includes everything you need to become export-ready, from programs and services to promotions and transactions. Whether you need just one module, a section of a guide, or a chart, the information is available 24/7 on any device with internet access. It's also an excellent training resource for new staff or employees transitioning into the export department.

Additionally, you can enhance your learning by accessing live or recorded webinars that complement the modules. All materials are specifically tailored to value-added food exports and participants in Food Export programs and services.
