Appello al Governo per un sostegno al ruolo delle Camere di Commercio italiane all’estero

Nella fase di ripartenza del Paese, il sistema camerale italiano all’estero sta facendo, come sempre,  la propria parte al servizio delle imprese e del tessuto produttivo italiano per il rilancio del Made in Italy nel mondo.

In questo contesto, Assocamerestero sottolinea – in una lettera inviata al Presidente del Consiglio a nome di tutte le CCIE – la necessità che nei provvedimenti economici in discussione alla Camera dei Deputati (Decreto legge “Rilancio Italia”) ci sia concreta attenzione per l’apporto concreto della rete delle 81 CCIEoperanti in 58 Paesi che rappresentano 20.000 imprese associate.

La ripartenza dell’Italia non può prescindere dall’export e dal contributo della rete di riferimento delle nostre imprese nel mondo.

 

Top 100 US importer rankings 2019

Source: JOC.com magazine  

 

The US-China trade war took its toll on containerized trade to the United States last year, with total US import volume ticking up just 0.43 percent year over year to 24.9 million TEU, down from a 7.1 percent increase the previous year, according to data from PIERS, a sister company of JOC.com within IHS Markit.

Walmart remained atop the list of the largest US importers by a wide margin, despite importing fewer TEU than it did in 2018. The five largest importers by volume — Walmart, Target, The Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Ashley Furniture — collectively imported more than 2.47 million TEU in 2019, accounting for nearly one out of every 10 US import TEU.

One Italian multinational company is among the top 100 Importers of goods to the US. Scroll down the list to discover who.

EXP Legal webinars in partnership with the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce Southeast

By EXP Legal 

 

In a moment of crisis such as the one we are experiencing in recent months, thinking about new business internationalization strategies or export plans can be a winning choice, in a medium-long term, especially for Italian SMEs that may struggle to regain large market shares in the domestic market.

In this context, despite all the problems deriving from the epidemiological emergency, the United States remain the first commercial partner of Made in Italy among the non-EU countries and the third Italian commercial partner at worldwide level.

With a total of 42.4 billion euros of exports, 2018 closed with an increase in Italian sales to the USA of 5% compared to 2017. The provisional data for 2019 show an increase compared to 2018 of 6.5% (SACE-Simest data).

Furthermore, despite the fact that in March 2020, for the commercial exchange with non-EU27 countries, a clear reduction was recorded both for Italian exports (-13.9%) and imports (-12.4%), the USA were the only market in which our exports grew in the first quarter of 2020 (+0.9%).

 

For these reasons, EXP Legal – Italian & International Firm, in partnership with the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce Southeast, has organized two webinars with the aim to provide companies with an overview of the business internationalization opportunities in the United States.

The topic of the first webinar will be “how to start a business in the USA”: from obtaining visas to establishing a branch/subsidiary and subsequent fulfilments. During the second online event a successful business case in the United States carried out by an Italian company will be analyzed in detail:

  • Fare impresa negli USA pt. 1: costituzione di una filiale e questioni legali, fiscali e di diritto dell’immigrazione (Monday, 8 June 2020 at 3:30 p.m., ITA time – zoom platform). Register here: https://bit.ly/3cdIFg4
  • Fare impresa negli USA pt. 2: analisi di un “business case” (Monday, 22 June 2020 at 3:30 p.m., ITA time – zoom platform). Register here: https://bit.ly/2AnzD36

The two webinars will be in Italian language.
