Notice

Summary

Businesses and organizations using these services will see some fee changes and new service options. The agency is also asking for public feedback to help shape future updates.

Analyzed Economic Effects

7 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 4 costs, 1 mixed.

Many ITA Service Fees Increased

If you use the International Trade Administration (ITA) for export services, many fees rise effective July 22, 2026. Examples in the notice include Contact List: $950 per report; Gold Key Service standard package: $3,250 (+ $800 for more than 5 appointments); International Partner Search: $2,500; Business Service Provider listing: $480 (annual renewal $240); Website Globalization: $600 per review; and standard staff time: $90 per staff hour (previously $30 in some cases).

Small/Medium Discounts Removed

The notice says the previously listed discounts for small and medium enterprises are no longer available. This means small and medium businesses that formerly paid reduced rates will pay the revised full fees starting July 22, 2026.

Rural Export Center Services Priced

The notice lists Rural Export Center (REC) services and prices available only at rural export centers: Matrix: $2,900 per report; One Country Report: $2,900 per report; Potential Partner List: $1,200 per service; REC Check: $450 per market.

Investment Promotion Fees Raised for EDOs

U.S. economic development organizations (EDOs) face higher fees for investment promotion: Facilitated Investment Mission (roadshow) full package rises to $3,600 per stop (previously $1,200 per stop), and many services and events are charged at $90 per staff hour (up from $30 per staff hour).

Direct Costs Not Included; Travel Surcharges Applied

ITA fees listed cover only staff time; clients must also pay other direct costs such as transportation, venue rental, catering, translation, and contractors. The notice says transportation for ITA staff beyond 80 kilometers or more than 2 hours away from an ITA office will trigger an additional user fee to cover travel costs.

Follow-on Service Reduced-Fee Deadlines

ITA offers reduced fees for certain follow-on services if purchased within set deadlines after an initial service. Examples: follow-on fees after an Initial Market Check to International Partner Search are eligible at reduced rates if bought within 180 days; International Partner Search follow-on reductions apply if purchased within 60 days; International Company Profile partial-to-full reduced fee applies if bought within 30 days.

New Services and Packages Added

ITA adds new services and packages to its menu, including Trade Missions (Non-Standardized Fee), Rural Export Center services (Matrix, One Country Report, Potential Partner List, REC Check), and Services for Trade Show Organizers such as the Trade Event Partnership Program (TEPP) and Trade Event Menu of Services (TEMS). Some new package fees are listed, for example TEPP Basic Package: $4,700 in-person and $3,710 virtual.
