U.S. businesses should check the bona fides of a Nepali company before appointing it as a local agent/distributor and/or entering into a trade deal.  Most Nepali business bona fides cannot be checked via traditional U.S. business channels.  The Political/Economic Section of the U.S. Embassy in Kathmandu can prepare commercial reports for U.S. businesses on request as part of its role as a Partner Post of the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service, New Delhi.  This is a paid service and normally routed through the Department of Commerce, U.S. Export Assistance Center nearest you.  Businesses may wish to contact the following organizations to obtain profiles of some Nepali businesses.
