Choose the path that describes you

USTEDC works with three distinct counterparties, and each begins differently. Select your path to see the first deliverable, what we need from you, and the expected timeline.

I am a U.S. company

Buyers, manufacturers, distributors and investors evaluating Turkish suppliers, production capacity or a Turkish market entry.

Your first deliverable

Landed-cost and supplier screen

A written comparison of your current sourcing against a qualified Turkish alternative — landed cost including duty and freight, three to five pre-screened suppliers with capacity and certification status, and the compliance issues that would need clearing.

What we need from you

  • Product category and HS code if known
  • Annual volume and current landed cost
  • Required certifications and quality standards
  • Target delivery terms and destination port

Timeline: Initial screen within 10 business days

I am a Turkish company

Exporters, manufacturers and technology companies preparing to sell into the United States or establish U.S. operations.

Your first deliverable

U.S. market-readiness assessment

A written readiness assessment covering U.S. regulatory and certification requirements for your product, realistic price positioning, channel options, entity and tax structure, and the state and federal incentives available on the U.S. side — plus which Turkish export supports can offset the cost.

What we need from you

  • Product line and existing export markets
  • Annual capacity and lead times
  • Existing certifications (CE, ISO, FDA, UL)
  • Whether you seek buyers, a distributor or U.S. production

Timeline: Assessment within 15 business days

I represent a public institution

U.S. state and municipal economic development agencies, Turkish ministries and agencies, chambers, development banks and multilateral bodies.

Your first deliverable

Corridor and programme scoping note

A scoping note setting out where bilateral activity exists in your jurisdiction today, which sectors are realistically addressable, what a pilot programme would cost and measure, and how outcomes would be reported against public-funding requirements.

What we need from you

  • Jurisdiction and mandate
  • Priority sectors and existing programmes
  • Budget cycle and reporting requirements
  • Target outcomes (exports, jobs, investment)

Timeline: Scoping note within 20 business days
