Check the stated audience and commitment
Enterprise Ireland’s page identifies manufacturing and internationally traded services businesses at an early exporting stage, with senior-leadership commitment. Explain your sector, export experience and the help you need before assuming you fit.
A preparation discussion can help frame a customer investigation. It does not verify an American operator, establish demand or commit funding. Use the linked market guide for the common work of testing who will buy and how you will deliver.
Use your actual location and sector
The page also contains Northern Ireland-specific turnover and routing information, plus separate food/drink directions. A condition attached to one branch is not a universal revenue threshold for expansion into America. Ask which route applies to your actual company.
Keep location, tax residence and nationality distinct
Ireland appears in the reviewed IRS income-tax index and E-1/E-2 table. Republic of Ireland incorporation, Northern Ireland operations, a company’s tax residence and an owner’s nationality are different facts. Neither country listing establishes a particular tax benefit or permission to work. No relocation is needed to prepare the plan.
Scope
- No programme eligibility, award or partner approval is established. The page does not complete Irish or American tax, banking, rights, sector or work-permission checks.
Next step
Ask which preparation route fits your location, sector, export stage and requested assistance.

Detailed rule records (3)
Recommended business practice: Enterprise Ireland’s Get Exporting scope includes Irish manufacturing/internationally traded services at an early export stage and requires senior-leadership commitment. Check the actual company/sector route; do not transplant Northern Ireland-specific turnover conditions or assume a programme grants U.S. operating permission.
Get Exporting — eligibility and programme stagesU.S.-source income paid to foreign persons can fall within the general 30% withholding regime. Statutory or treaty relief depends on the payment, recipient and documentation; reporting obligations require separate review. Do not assume parent incorporation determines treaty entitlement.
NRA withholding Withholding and reporting obligationsThe E regulation traces enterprise nationality as practicable to ultimate individual owners and separately addresses investment, control and the person’s role. Check the State Department treaty list and country footnotes; incorporating in a treaty country does not itself establish eligibility.
