Economic/Commercial Section
Overview
The Economic/Commercial Section at the U.S. Embassy in Port Louis advises the Ambassador and the U.S. Government on economic, labor, science, and technology issues and the U.S.-Mauritius and U.S.-Seychelles economic relationship.
We also offer a number of services to businesses to promote trade between the United States and Mauritius. Services range from complimentary overviews to tailor-made services for a fee. The list of specialized, fee-based commercial services available to U.S. businesses is below.
The Economic/Commercial Section in Port Louis partners with the U.S. Commercial Service Southern Africa, located in Johannesburg, South Africa, to expand the commercial services and resources we are able to provide to interested parties. Please visit the U.S. Commercial Service Southern Africa site to gain a better understanding of their efforts at: http://www.buyusa.gov/southafrica/en/.
To best support U.S. companies seeking trade and investment opportunities, we annually update our County Commercial Guide (CCG) for general use by the U.S. business community. The Commerce Department's Commercial Service Offices overseas traditionally prepare CCGs, but in smaller markets, the Department of State's Economic and Commercial Sections prepare the reports. All CCGs are stored in the Commercial Service Market Research Database, which can be found at: www.export.gov. The reports are available by clicking here.
