Georgia Companies To Benefit From Improved Access To International Trade Services And Resources |
 |

Small businesses interested in growing their exports can now apply for new or lower cost export services online. These services are made due to a grant that the Georgia Department of Economic Development received from the Small Business Administration (SBA). The grant provides both new export services and reduced fees for some existing export services for qualified small and medium-size businesses. By registering for the state's trade services online at http://trade.georgia.org, Georgia companies will also receive advance notice of international trade missions and trade shows. There is no cost to register, but registration is necessary to access these services. For information about the state's trade services, please contact Ms. Taube Ponce, senior trade manager and manager of Georgia's SBA grant at 404-962-4118 or by e-mail at

Important Changes in NOM Certification |
|
|
|
On August 17, 2010, the Government of Mexico published four Acuerdos, providing that Mexico will accept certain standards and conformity assessment procedures used in the United States and Canada as equivalent to its own standards. Therefore, products that have been tested and certified to meet such standards in accordance with the appropriate Acuerdo do not need to be re-tested and re-certified in Mexico. The Mexican standards (NOMs) that are the subject of this harmonization are NOM-001-SCFI-1993, NOM-016-SCFI-1993 and NOM-019-SCFI-1998.
