SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The International Trade Administration, Global Trade Programs, 
offers trade fair guidance and assistance to trade fair organizers, 
trade fair operators, and other travel- and trade-oriented groups. The 
fairs open doors to promising trade markets around the world, and 
provide an opportunity for showcasing quality exhibitors and products 
from around the world. The ``Application for Designation of a Fair'' is 
a questionnaire that is prepared and signed by an organizer to begin 
the certification process. It asks the fair organizer to provide 
details as to the date, place, and sponsor of the fair, as well as 
license, permit, and corporate backers, and countries participating. To 
apply for the certification, the fair organizer must have all the 
components of the application in order. Then, with the approval, the 
organizer is able to bring their products into the U.S. in accordance 
with Customs laws. The articles which may be brought in, include, but 
are not limited to, actual exhibit items, pamphlets, brochures, and 
explanatory material in reasonable quantities relating to the foreign 
exhibits at a trade fair, and material for use in constructing, 
installing, or maintaining foreign exhibits at a trade fair.
