About USRCC

[vc_column_text]

The U.S.-Russia Chamber of Commerce (the “USRCC” or the “Chamber”), a 501(c)(6) nonprofit corporation headquartered in Houston, Texas, was established in 2009 with the goal of promoting trade and investment between Russia and the United States. The Chamber was created with the support of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the City of Houston, and the Texas business community. The USRCC has expanded to the Midwest and Northeast with a branch office in Chicago and representative office in New York City. The strategic locations of the Midwest and Northeast offices provide our members with comprehensive services throughout the United States.

USRCC supports members based in the U.S.A. to establish and increase in-bound and out-bound trade and investment with Russia and CIS. In the latest figures available, Russia’s trade with the United States rose to $6.61 billion through the Q1 of 2020.
