Hawaii Companies

First things first -- the interesting info -- The freight cost to transport your Hawaii products to
the show will be subsidized. Each opportunity is unique -- you can decide to participate in
either or both. Both require your "asap" attention and commitment.

OPPORTUNITY # 1
The State of Hawaii Office in Taipei will have a booth at the show will joyfully promote your
Hawaii product.
Please advise if you will send product/s. Cost of freight will be paid by the State Dept of
Agriculture. Customs, tariffs and fees will be your responsibility.
If you decide to participate - respond to this email and further details will be sent to you.

OPPORTUNITY # 2
WUSATA will have a booth at the show and will promote your Hawaii product/s for a $150
participation fee. Refer to the attached. The benefit for your product with this opportunity is
that in addition to the booth at the Food Taipei International Trade Show, your product will be
used as an ingredient in the chefs demonstration and have more media and PR attention via an
American Kitchen product show.
Consolidation will be in Honolulu for shipment to Portland, OR where WUSATA will transport the
product to Taipei. Cost of freight to transport from Honolulu to Portland will be paid by the
State Dept of Agriculture with WUSATA covering the cost from Portland to Taipei. Customs,
tariffs and fees will be your responsibility. If you decide to participate -- FILL IN THE ATTACHED
