Summary

"The book recognizes the growing significance of export import trade and the need of the corporate world to understand the nuances of export import management in order to compete in the international market. Beginning with the basics of foreign trade and export import documentation, it delves deep into topics such as the methods and instruments of payment, pricing incoterms (international commercial terms), export import strategies and practices. It also explores topics such as financing exporters, risk management and its coverage, customs clearance, cargo, shipping, IT, and export incentive schemes." "The book contains separate chapters which provide analyses of markets in the Middle East, the ASEAN countries, Australia and New Zealand, and China and Japan. These provide an insight into the business, political, economic, and legal environment of the host region/country which would enable a potential exporter to understand the challenges and opportunities in the market. These chapters provide practical information for exporters and importers. Practitioners of the trade will find the book a useful handy reference."--BOOK JACKET.
