IS THERE A GLOBAL MARKET FOR USED GOODS FROM THE UNITED STATES? Yes, the international market for used goods shipped from the United States is relatively strong, supported by statistics measuring the volume of worn clothing and used vehicle exports. In 1999, documented export sales of worn clothing from the U.S. topped $217 million while the aggregate sum of U.S. used vehicle exports reached approximately $941 million (source: U.S. Census Bureau). http://www.qualityusedclothes.bloombiz.com Used equipment and remanufactured automotive parts are grouped under the same tariff classification as their new counterparts, making it difficult to obtain isolated statistical data for these used products. However, according to U.S. Department of Commerce officials, the volume of used exports from the United States is significant. It is important to note that the export of used products is a diverse and somewhat nebulous area of international commerce. While there is measurable international demand for used goods from the United States, tapping into these markets can be a relatively difficult undertaking due to the existence of non-tariff barriers, outright restrictions and lack of access to pertinent information. http://www.qualityusedclothes.bloombiz.com This article aims to help companies better understand the issues related to exporting used goods.
