USA Doing Business > Business Gifts
  • Business gifts are not a part of the culture. The government issues strict rules and limits on the value of gifts received and many companies impose similar restrictions.
  • Inviting your associates out for a meal makes a good gift.
  • If you do choose to give something, a gift from your home country will be appreciated, although don’t expect a gift in return.
  • Colleagues may give you something very small if you’ve done something exceptional or once negotiations have ended.
  • At the holidays, suppliers and vendors often give something to their good clients.
