Taking advantage of a weak American Dollar.

One American company is taking advantage. AAI or All American Imports was founded in 2006 by Mark James Lehman. Mark spent most of his career in international sales working for Hydrospa in Tampa, FL. After setting up multiple Hot tub accounts and building dealer networks throughout Europe he decided to peruse his passion of Powersports.

With a large network of dealers which had become more like friends than clients, Mark started asking if anyone would be interested in importing some Harley Davidsons from the US. With a weak US dollar on his side the answer was a resounding "YES".

This is what may have been the perfect storm. Mark already had a vast knowledge of exporting goods from the US along with international trade law and each country's VAT. This accompanied by his love of motorcycles, ATV's, boats, and Jet Skis All American Imports was born in 2006.

At this time the Euro was dominating the dollar and clients in the UK were enjoying a strong 2 to 1 on the US dollar. The company thought it has seen its last container in 2009 but has since made a strong comeback in Australia with Satellite offices open in Brisbane.

It is likely the company will be exporting in excess of 7 figures worth of goods to the AU by the end of 2010.

When asked what makes his company different Mark was quoted as saying, "All American Imports believes positive revenues come from positive relationships. Honesty with our clients along with 24-7 availability provides security for our clients from day one. All American Imports is always honest and up front about the hurdles we encounter from a simple shipping delay to a little extra time that may be needed to get a product just right.

We also keep Honesty in Numbers. All American Imports does not mark up products purchased for our clients. Bills of sale and titles clearly show the client the purchase price. We charge acquisition fees between 8-15 percent for our services. Clients may also enter into a profit sharing agreement with All American Imports.
We expect reciprocal Business Ethics. We select to conduct business only with such businesses that share our guiding principals."

All American Imports is now considered to be a Featured US Exporter by the US department of commerce and is recommended to foreign buyers looking for Powersport on the export.gov website.
