International Trade

Buy American goods for export — sourced, shipped and financed.

International trade is our core practice. 305 International helps buyers and companies abroad purchase equipment, machinery, materials and finished goods in the United States for export — coordinating sourcing and negotiation, freight forwarding, logistics and customs, and the export financing that makes the transaction possible, including structures supported by the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM).

01

International Trade Advisory

From commercial strategy to a delivered, financed transaction.

International trade is the core of our practice. We advise buyers, companies and institutions abroad that need to purchase American goods and equipment for export.

  • International trade strategy
  • Export and import advisory
  • U.S. supplier and manufacturer identification
  • Buyer and supplier introductions
  • Commercial negotiation support
  • Transaction structuring
  • Trade and export documentation coordination

U.S. Sourcing & Procurement for Export

Buy in the American market. Export worldwide.

The United States is home to some of the world's leading manufacturers, equipment suppliers and industrial technologies. We act as the buyer's representative in the U.S. market — identifying suppliers, requesting quotations and negotiating price and terms to purchase American goods for export to other countries.

Construction materials and machinery are a particular strength. Because we build, we know these products firsthand and can aggregate and consolidate full-project material and equipment packages for export — see Construction & Development.

We can assist with:

  • Supplier and manufacturer identification
  • Manufacturer outreach and RFQs
  • Price and commercial-terms negotiation
  • Purchasing on behalf of the foreign buyer
  • Equipment, machinery and materials sourcing
  • Procurement programs
  • Inspection and quality coordination
  • Consolidation and export preparation

Freight Forwarding, Logistics & Customs

From the U.S. supplier to your port — cleared and delivered.

Purchasing American goods is only half the transaction — they still have to move and clear. We coordinate freight forwarding and international logistics so cargo travels from the U.S. supplier to the destination reliably, with the documentation and compliance an export requires.

Customs management is a core part of this. We bring hands-on experience navigating export and import customs processes on both ends — tariff classification, valuation, documentation and clearance — working alongside licensed customs brokers to keep shipments compliant and moving.

Our coordination can include:

  • Freight forwarding coordination
  • Ocean, air and ground transport
  • Cargo consolidation
  • Export and import customs management
  • Tariff classification (HS/HTS) guidance
  • Customs valuation and documentation
  • Customs clearance coordination with licensed brokers
  • Duties, taxes and compliance guidance
  • Export documentation
  • Incoterms guidance (EXW, FOB, CIF and others)
  • Cargo insurance coordination
  • Shipment tracking and delivery follow-up
04

Export Financing & EXIM Bank

Structure the financing that closes the deal.

Many export transactions depend on financing. 305 International helps buyers and suppliers structure the financing behind a purchase of U.S. goods, and brings experience navigating and negotiating transactions supported by the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) — the official export credit agency of the U.S. government.

We can support:

  • Export financing strategy
  • EXIM Bank–backed transaction structuring
  • Guidance on export credit and buyer financing
  • Introductions to lenders and financial institutions
  • Documentation and application coordination
  • Payment and trade-instrument coordination

305 International is not a bank, lender or financial advisor. We coordinate financing structures and work alongside appropriately licensed financial institutions and professionals.

Import & Export

Connecting products with markets.

Beyond outbound export programs, 305 International assists companies importing products into the United States or moving goods in either direction. We help coordinate the commercial and operational elements required to move from opportunity to executed transaction.

Our role may include:

  • Market analysis
  • Product sourcing
  • Supplier and buyer identification
  • Commercial negotiation
  • Distribution strategy
  • Logistics coordination
  • Import/export documentation support
  • Third-party professional coordination
06

U.S. Market Entry

Establish your business in the United States.

For companies that want a permanent U.S. presence to support their trade activity, entering the market involves more than creating a legal entity. 305 International acts as a local coordinator throughout the process.

Services can include:

  • Market-entry strategy
  • Business establishment coordination
  • Location and operational setup
  • Banking and professional introductions
  • Commercial introductions
  • Local partner identification

Where specialized legal, tax, immigration or regulatory advice is required, we coordinate with appropriately licensed professionals.

07

Business Development

Establish. Connect. Grow.

For selected clients, our involvement continues over time. 305 International can support companies in developing their commercial presence and trade flows with the United States by identifying opportunities, establishing relationships and coordinating business development initiatives.

Our objective is straightforward: to become a trusted local extension of our client's international trade operation.
