catalogs in Japan

[Rob...@aol.com]

The U.S.Embassy in Tokyo is very active in promoting purchases of U.S. goods
via catalogs. You can get more information on U.S. and Japanese firms
involved in this growing business by sending a request to: Foreign
Commercial Service, American Embassy, Unit 45004, APO AP 96337.

Hi Shaula,

JETRO has a division called "Import Promotion Division". Although,
they tend to be even more inept than JETRO main offices <g>.
