HPEC Board Members recently traveled to Japan and met with the US Commercial Service on May 8 at the embassy in Tokyo to discuss exporting of products from Hawaii to Japan. The USCS officers in Honolulu and Japan have been extremely helpful to Hawaii and Pacific Island companies and we greatly appreciate their efforts. Please contact HPEC if you have any export topics you need assistance with, and certainly call on the USCS in Tokyo when you need help with specific export issues to Japan.
