Mission statement: The mission of the Hawaii Pacific Export Council (HPEC) is to promote U.S. exports from Hawaii and the American Pacific Islands by supporting the activities of the US Commercial Service and Hawaii Export Assistance Center, counseling businesses on the exporting process, and conducting trade education programs.
Join a dozen shipping experts who will give you the information, tools, and confidence you need to ship your products anywhere sales are made: to a neighbor island, mainland, or to an international destination! Specifically designed with agricultural producers and processers in mind, this training will help you to overcome some of the shipping obstacles in doing business from an island state.
