How It Helps Your Business English
An interactive taxonomy browser sits on the page. Terms are grouped under four headings, geographic markets and trade areas, industries, trade topics, and United States government, and a search box finds a term directly. Selecting a heading opens the terms beneath it, so related wording can be followed from the broad category down to the precise term.
Search the term you have met in a document to see the exact form the United States trade authorities use for it, then open the heading it sits under to find the narrower and neighbouring terms around it. Browse a category before you write a market study or an export enquiry, so that your wording matches the terms used in official trade sources and your searches return what you expect.
