The USCCC will lead several Trade Missions to China this year. The first Trade Mission left for China on April 12 and returned to the U.S. on April 23. Its purpose was to assist U.S. companies in gaining a first-hand understanding of the opportunities and challenges of the Chinese marketplace, as well as to establish direct contacts with potential trading partners and government officials. The Trade Mission started in Shanghai, and continued to Ningbo, Guangzhou, Xinhui, Fushan, Zhongshan (where it attended the Zhongshan Xiaolan Light Manufacturing Fair), Dongguan, and Shenzhen. The Trade Mission’s focus was on plastics, metallurgical, furniture, fixtures, accessories, lighting and consumer electronics. In Ningbo, it visited several precision casting foundries, textile factories, plastics molders, metal stampers and related industries; in Xinhui, Fushan, Zhongshan, Dongguan, and Dongguan, it visited furniture, fixtures, lighting, consumer electronics factories, plastics, and other light manufacturing industries. To ensure the success of the Mission, we limited the number of members to no more than 15, with no more than two representatives from the same company. If you are interested in participating in future China Trade Missions, please complete our questionnaire. In addition, please provide the USCCC with your company's standard promotional literature or annual report. The more complete a picture the USCCC has of each company and its interests and objectives in China, the better able we will be to identify and screen potential business partners and contacts. After the USCCC has received completed questionnaires and descriptive literature from prospective Trade Mission participants, it holds discussions with each prospective participant and selectes companies to participate in upcoming China Trade Missions. Companies not selected to participate in a particular China Trade Mission will receive priority consideration for future trade missions. In the future, the USCCC intends to offer Trade Missions which will have a different industry focus. Pollution control and infrastructure projects, particularly related to the Beijing Olympics, will be given priority. We would appreciate a response to this questionnaire to help in planning future Trade Missions. United States of America - China Chamber of Commerce |
