Market Research and Strategy Development
ICNC clients are able to tap International Trade Center resources to assist in your business planning. Clients have used ITC resources to investigate opportunities in Canada, Mexico, Turkey and various countries in Europe. We can save you time and money by searching market information, at no cost, with these databases:
Exporting clients know that correct classification of your goods is essential for successful exporting. We have acquired the 5 volumes of the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized System by the World Customs Organization. The Explanatory Notes are the official classification guidelines of the trade community, and are essential to the correct classification of goods. Text covers the General Rules of Interpretation, Section Notes, Chapter and Subheading.
Making the leap to a new export market can be very profitable, but often requires upfront investment. Our custom market research projects can help you identify which markets hold the most potential for your products and what those market environments are like before you invest your own resources in them.
We design and carry out market research projects tailored to your products and key questions. Typical project elements include identification of high potential international markets, overviews of your target customer base and competition in those markets and potential distribution channels.
Depending on the international markets investigated, projects can last from 2 weeks up to 8 weeks. In addition, we may coordinate with partners on-the-ground in those markets (such as the state of Illinois’ offices abroad and the US Commercial Service) to gather detailed market intelligence. We then make actionable recommendations based on our research that can form the basis of a cohesive international strategy.
