The program assists small food and agricultural businesses by reimbursing them for eligible marketing and promotional costs. While this program is designed for U.S. companies to begin exporting, it is invaluable for importers and distributors who pay for marketing and promotion activities on behalf of their U.S. suppliers of food and agricultural products. Some of the eligible expenses include trade show costs, package and label modifications, freight costs, public relations, advertising and more.
To qualify for the program, the importer/distributor must have their U.S. supplier qualify and apply for the Branded Program and the U.S. supplier must submit all reimbursement requests.
