District Export Councils (DECs) are groups of international business professionals, appointed by the Secretary of Commerce, who support the mission of the U.S. Commercial Service (CS) of the Department of Commerce by encouraging and supporting exports in their local communities. Closely affiliated with the Commerce Department’s U.S. Export Assistance Centers, the 60 DECs are made up of approximately 1,200 exporters and export service providers who support the U.S. Government’s export promotion efforts throughout the country.
DEC members volunteer their time to participate in numerous trade promotion activities. They also provide specialized expertise to small and medium‑sized businesses that are interested in exporting.
For more information about the DECs, please contact the Trade Information Center at 1-800-USA-TRAD(E) or your local U.S. Export Assistance Center.
