Many US items were sent to the USSR during the war, such as Spam

After the war I believe the first US company to trade in the USSR was Pepsi, in return for selling Stolichnaya Vodka in the west
I'll second the Pepsi answer.
At one point, Pepsi were reputed to have the 4th biggest submarine fleet as they took 70-odd in lieu of payment as it was difficult to get hard currency out of Russia.  Not sure if it is an urban myth though.
