About ExportBureau.com: This will provide a comprehensive description of Export Bureau , its function , goals and operating procedures.

Why use this site: ExportBureau.com was established  to provide a link between manufacturers and importers around the world that was regionally independent. Most other major export directories on the web are closely aligned with certain countries,regions or governments negating the global nature of the internet and giving way to in-house preference deals. The format is specifically designed to be fast and more importantly simple to navigate without confusing users. While there are other export import boards on the web, none are able to provide the level of service and integrity that being part of a larger network provides us.  A special cross reference agreement between our database and other leading online directories means you have access to even more leads than any single site could provide. 

Reasons ExportBureau is better than other online manufacturing directories

1- ExportBureau is a non profit organization, totally free for both member companies listed in the directory and for the worldwide general public to browse every page. This tradition started in 1998 when the company was founded and underlies the strict integrity of the database. There are no "members only" sections or paid listings. There are no annual fees of any type for any of the listed companies. There are no restrictions placed on different members or excessive advertising cluttering the pages. ExportBureau is supported by Google to ensure that it will continue to be the most popular free online exporter and manufacturer company database.

2- No Usernames or Passwords are required to browse the database. We do not try to datafarm our users or rope them into paid membership by forcing them to remember complicated usernames and passwords.

3-Regionally Independant, with exports and manufacturing underpinning many country's economys and most import export deals now arranged online through manufacturing directories like ExportBureau the stakes are high. Many exporters complain that certain popular directories promote only their national founders home country exporters at the expense of foriegn competition. A simple check of the popular directories with show preferences for "China Gold Suppliers" and others which are backed by specific national goverments. Our global statistics and non profit status reflect our international independance from any region or country.

4- Every manufacturer has its website link listed and easily available to the general public. Too many online directories try to force member companies into setting up automatically generated websites online with the view to charging them once the companyxyz.directory.com website becomes popular. This is not only a sly attempt to blackmail members in the future it has also contributed to international fraud by letting individuals generate professional looking trade websites with no verified identification. Many of these auto generated pages are also widly out of date as real companies prefer to update their own real websites rather than logging on to the many trade directories. If the companies do not have the money and organization to set up their own real dedicated website then we do not want them in our database, let them flood the trade lead sites with their junk agent listings.

5- We do not repeat the same companies over and over in any particular category to give the impression of a larger database. Each export company member is allowed only 3 sub categories and is only listed once in each of those sections. The problem with many competitors listings is that by listing on product rather than company they encourage the members to flood their database with every conceivable product they can think of to gain larger exposure online. Some export agents im sure would list the pencils on their desk if they thought it would give them more exposure.

6- All new export company information is inspected directly by system administrators and examined for validity before being included into the database. Many websites rely on computer filtered direct online posts which are not difficult to fool, this results in hundreds of junk export posts and fraud, usually all in captials with little or no identification information other than a @yahoo email address.

7- Historical database since 1998 over five years of free service to all our listed members.

8- Free Worldwide Trade Statistics in every category you can get free worldwide trade statistics and graphs. This is developed through our five years of providing international import and export companies.

7- Secure Email System For Every Member this free public service sends a spam and junk filtered email order enquiry encrypted to the export members direct company salesmen not to 3rd party agents. The message is not molested in any way and uses the senders return email address so that once the initial contact has been made both buyer and seller are free to conclude their contact in privacy between each other. This system has generated over 500000 orders and most export company representatives will take extra attention of your order enquiry knowing the huge amount of orders they already recieve through the system.
