I. Abstract
The International Trade Administration, United States Foreign
Commercial Service, Global Trade Programs, offers trade fair guidance
and assistance to trade fair organizers, trade fair operators, and
other travel and trade oriented groups. These fairs open doors to
promising trade markets around the world. These trade fairs provide an
opportunity for showcasing quality exhibitors and products from around
the world. The ``Application for Designation of a Fair'' is a
questionnaire that is prepared and signed by an organizer to begin the

for the U.S. Department of Commerce certification, the fair organizer
must have all the components of the application in order. Then, with
the approval, the organizer is able to bring their products into the
U.S. in accordance with Customs laws. Articles which may be brought in,
include, but are not limited to, actual exhibit items, pamphlets,
brochures, and explanatory material in reasonable quantities relating
to the foreign exhibits at a trade fair, and material for use in
constructing, installing, or maintaining foreign exhibits at a trade
