Exporting Basics: Getting Started
Do I need any special permits or approvals to start an export business in the U.S.?
The U.S. Government does not require a company to have a license or permit to engage in the import/export business. Contact your appropriate state or local city hall regarding requirements and procedures for obtaining business permits. Your local Pennsylvania Regional Export Network (REN) Partner can direct you toward the offices or individuals who can help you with this process. Contact your REN Partner using the

International Legal Considerations under the
