Start here:

Airmen Certification - Verify the Authenticity of a Foreign License, Rating, or Medical Certification (http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/foreign_license_verification/)

Once that is done make sure you that you meet the requirements for a commercial certificate listed here:

Electronic Code of Federal Regulations: (http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=40760189a03dfea0b501608f33820a45&rgn=div5&view=text&node=14:2.0.1.1.2&idno=14#14:2.0.1.1.2.6)

and Bingo!! commercial certificate in your pocket.

As a side note the required training can be conducted by a non FAA certificated instructor but the last 3 hours and the endorsement for the check ride has to be done by an FAA instructor.
