INFORMATION/GUIDANCE TO EXPORTERS/IMPORTERS IN KARNATAKA:

1. LIBRARY

Information is the key for successful exports. Many of the industries and traders are apprehensive of 8entering the export field due to lack of proper information. Also all the Export Promotion Councils / Commodity Boards of the Central Govt., do not have offices in the State. This has resulted in the entrepreneurs not in a position to evaluate their capabilities for exporting due to lack of proper guidance and database.

It is in this context, that VITC regularly subscribes to various magazines / bulletins / journals of the EPCs / CBs, Chambers of Commerce / Trade Associations overseas, and also private publications, to provide the latest and the updated databases and information on export markets, procedures and formalities etc., so as to enable prospective and existing exporters of the State to enter / accelerate their export efforts effectively.
