Centers for International Trade Development (CITD)

Deliver - Inform - Expand

The Centers of International Trade Development (CITD) has 14 offices across California and assists thousands of companies annually in conducting international business. Our free or low-cost programs and services include one-on-one technical assistance and consulting, market research, training and educational programs, trade leads and special events.

The CITD is a place to learn about international matchmaking events and other programs taking place both in California and abroad. Let us help you succeed:

  • Individualized assistance as an exporter, importer, or global marketing organization
  • Export and import education programs for businesses and entrepreneurs
  • "Help Desk" to ask questions about international trade and help solve international business transaction challenges
