History
The Export Yellow Pages was created in 1993 under the Bush Administration as a Public Private Partnership in partnership with Delphos International. Under its leadership of Bill Delphos and Donald Burley the publication was distributed worldwide to 210 countries with the US Department of Commerce and other government agencies distributing the directory to foreign buyers looking to purchase American made goods and services.
The Export Yellow Pages print and online directory detailed products and services of over 27,000 U.S. companies representing over 65,000 business categories, as well as offers access to U.S. company executives, product catalogs, news and other export related information and resources. The website is no longer fully functional.
Connections and links to the Department of Commerce and other U.S. government international trade offices and agencies and resources are also presented at the Export Yellow Page
to further assist U.S. companies and foreign buyers in navigating international trade opportunities and processes. This website and searches on it may not reliably work anymore.

Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank)
Ex-Im Bank is the official export credit agency of the United States federal government. It is an independent agency in the Executive branch established by Congress in 1934 for the purposes of financing and insuring foreign purchases of United States goods for customers unable or unwilling to accept credit risk. ''The mission of the Bank is to create and sustain U.S. jobs by financing sales of U.S. exports to international buyers.'' Ex-Im Bank does not compete with private sector lenders, but rather provides financing for transactions that would otherwise not take place because commercial lenders are either unable or unwilling to accept the political or commercial risks inherent in the deal.
