EU Trade Portal Helps Small Businesses Access Export Markets

The European Commission’s Access2Markets portal enables firms to look up information on tariffs, taxes, rules of origin, product requirements, customs procedures, trade barriers, and trade flows statistics for imported and exported goods. The portal aims to help small businesses in Europe export their products to over 120 export markets around the world. While small businesses represent 88% of all EU exporters and support an estimated 13 million jobs, their exports account for a third of EU exports.
