WASHINGTON – In August 2020, the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) approved 169 small business authorizations totaling $209.8 million in 36 states and the District of Columbia that export “Made in the USA” products around the world, in support of an estimated 800 American jobs, according to the agency’s preliminary estimates.

“As our nation's economy continues to reopen with a renewed emphasis on creating American jobs, EXIM remains focused on ensuring small businesses succeed in exporting their ‘Made in the USA’ goods and services around the world,” said EXIM President and Chairman Kimberly A. Reed. “EXIM underscored that commitment during our recent Annual Conference by offering the first-ever small business track and by signing memorandums of understanding with the Minority Business Development Agency and the United States Department of Agriculture. Assisting our small businesses grow and thrive through exporting is a top priority, and we continue to encourage small business exporters to reach out directly to EXIM.”

The small business authorizations are posted online. In addition, of that $209.8 million in small business authorizations, $25.6 million went to support minority- and women-owned business. To date, since May 2019 when a quorum of the Board of Directors was restored, EXIM has authorized more than 2,000 small business transactions.

Maputo, Mozambique – The U.S. Trade and Development Agency expanded its support for Mozambique’s energy sector by funding two projects that will help deliver electricity to thousands of households through wind power and energy storage technology. The projects are among Mozambique’s first utility-scale wind power plants – a large step in expanding the country’s electrification.

“USTDA’s assistance will support Mozambique’s efforts to tap into its abundant renewable energy resources. These projects are prime examples of how USTDA uses innovative technology to promote access to electricity and economic growth in its partner countries,” said Todd Abrajano, USTDA’s Chief Operating Officer and Head of Agency. “Mozambique’s energy expansion will also create opportunities for American companies to supply quality infrastructure solutions that are built to last.”

USTDA awarded a grant for a feasibility study to help Ventos de Inhambane, S.A. develop a wind power plant with energy storage near Praia da Rocha. U.S. firm Delphos International, Ltd. will undertake the study.

“The valuable support USTDA is providing will enable the advancement of the Inhambane Wind Farm. USTDA is helping Mozambique expand its renewable energy sector, while providing much needed clean power and sustainable investment for the growth of the region,” said Bernardo T. Fernandes, Managing Partner of Enventure Partners, LLC, the majority shareholder of Ventos de Inhambane, S.A.

Among industry classification systems, Harmonized System (HS) Codes are commonly used throughout the export process for goods. The Harmonized System is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products. It is used by customs authorities around the world to identify products when assessing duties and taxes and for gathering statistics.

The HS is administrated by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and is updated every five years. It serves as the foundation for the import and export classification systems used in the United States and by many trading partners.

The HS assigns specific six-digit codes for varying classifications and commodities. Countries are allowed to add longer codes to the first six digits for further classification.

The United States uses a 10-digit code to classify products for export, known as a Schedule B number, with the first six digits being the HS number. There is a Schedule B number for every physical product, from paperclips to airplanes. The Schedule B is administered by the U.S. Census Bureau's Foreign Trade Division.
