aerospace market.

in Canada, including the likelihood of
exports resulting from the mission.
• Consistency in the applicant’s goals

the mission.

(including political contributions) will
be removed from an applicant’s
submission and not considered during
the selection process.
Fees and Expenses
After a company has been selected to
participate on the mission, a
participation fee paid to the U.S.
Department of Commerce is required.
The participation fee will be $2,900 for
large firms and $2,000 for a small or
medium-sized enterprise (SME),1 for up
to two company representatives. The fee
for more than two company
representatives is $250 per additional
participant. Expenses for travel, lodging,
in-country transportation (except for bus

• An applicant must submit a
completed and signed mission
Participation Agreement and a
completed Market Interest
Questionnaire, including adequate
information on the company’s products

request additional information, or take
the lack of information into account
when evaluating the applications.

that the products and services to be
promoted through the mission are either
produced in the United States or
marketed under the name of a U.S. firm
and have at least 51 percent U.S.

1 An SME is defined as a firm with 500 or fewer
employees or that otherwise qualifies as a small
business under SBA regulations (see https://

sizestandardstopics/). Parent companies,
affiliates, and subsidiaries will be considered when
determining business size. The dual pricing reflects
