USPS to provide exporting workshops in rural areas<\/h2>\n

\"Rural<\/div>\n
USPS will help rural businesses boost exports
\nusing Priority Mail International and other products.<\/h6>\n

The Postal Service will offer \u201cGrow Your Business Day\u201d workshops through a federal initiative that aims to boost the number of exports from rural businesses.<\/p>\n

The free seminars will be offered at 75 Post Offices and focus on exporting, including how to file customs forms and calculate shipping costs. Participating offices will be announced later.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Postal Service is a lifeline to many rural businesses, providing efficient and low- cost shipping options,\u201d said DPMG Ron Stroman. \u201cAs part of this initiative, we\u2019ll provide small businesses with information on shipping solutions to get their products to customers in foreign markets, navigating customs regulations and forms, and helping grow their business.\u201d<\/p>\n

The workshops are part of the \u201cMade in Rural America<\/em><\/a>\u201d initiative, which brings together federal resources to help rural communities gain access to new markets.<\/p>\n

The White House Rural Council is spearheading the effort, which also includes a program to educate local banks on federal export resources available to small firms.<\/p>\n

USPS introduced \u201cGrow Your Business Day\u201d workshops several years ago to help Post Offices connect with small businesses in their communities. Topics include direct mail, Every Door Direct Mail and global business opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
