The USCIB aims at providing leading American companies a recognition to succeed in the international market by helping them to work with like-minded firms to influence rules, laws and policies that will hold back the competitiveness of US businesses based anywhere in the world. It basically gives American businesses a table where they can present the American business ideas as well as the values and solutions on a large number of issues which might range from e-commerce to environment as well as to labor relations – directly to the policymakers of the United States and officials of the United Nations as well as of the European Union and other important groups and governments.<ref name="link2">[http://www.uscib.org/index.asp?documentID=2410 uscib.org]</ref>

The USCIB was one of the founding members of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) GNSO’s business Constituency. It was also one of the active members in the formation process of ICANN. This was mainly because of the technical coordination of the Internet and the importance of the Internet to all of its business. <ref>[http://www.docstoc.com/docs/7144996/Christopher-G-Martin-USCIB docstoc.com]</ref> The USCIB also contributes towards the ICANN Leadership Selections by participating in the Nominating Committee (NomCom). <ref>[http://www.uscib.org/index.asp?documentID=4006 uscib.org]Latest from USCIB</ref>
