SEMA Can Help — at No Cost to You! 

SEMA, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration (ITA), is offering a unique opportunity to help U.S. manufacturers like you find international customers and distributors — at no cost to your company.

Whether you're new to exporting or looking to expand into new markets, this program provides hands-on support to help you identify real sales opportunities overseas.

Here’s how the program can work for you through three progressive services. You can sign up for one or all of the following:

• Initial Market Check – Quickly find out if a particular country is a good fit for your products.
• International Partner Search – Get a short list of qualified distributors or buyers in your target market.
• Gold Key Service – Take it a step further with in-person meetings abroad arranged for you with vetted prospects in your target market.

Who’s eligible?

Small to mid-sized SEMA member companies with products made in the U.S. or with at least 51% U.S. content. You’ll just need to track any export sales for a year and share quarterly updates (kept confidential).

How this could work for you:

Let’s say you make performance suspension components and think Australia could be a good market. With the Gold Key Service, ITA specialists will confirm the demand, find potential distributors, and can even set up in-person meetings in Australia for you—saving you time, money, and guesswork.

Only 40 spots are available, and the deadline to apply is June 10.
