A practical roadmap to international trade

Tekle B. Sebhatu’s guide organizes the shift from domestic business to importing and exporting as a series of operational decisions. It covers readiness assessment and business planning alongside trade compliance, payment and financing options, product promotion through trade leads, distribution, shipping, documentation, and insurance. That broad scope makes the book a reference point for the many connected tasks involved in entering overseas markets, rather than a guide limited to finding buyers or arranging shipments. Its stepwise structure also links strategic preparation with the practical requirements of trade operations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Small- and medium-sized business owners considering international markets
  • Newcomers seeking an introduction to import/export operations
  • Established business owners looking to organize trade planning and logistics

In an increasingly global economy, owners of small- and medium-sized businesses are discovering that foreign markets are becoming critical for the growth of their companies and profits. But, to survive and compete effectively in the vast and increasingly complex world market, owners must be armed with a thorough knowledge of import/export strategies and operations.

This book takes novice and seasoned business owners alike on the journey from domestic to international. Owners will learn valuable skill sets, including how to:

- Assess company readiness to import/export
- Create an import/export business plan
- Understand the basics of international trade compliance
- Evaluate payment methods and financing options
- Identify and promote products using trade leads
- Appraise distribution and shipping options
- Recognize documentation and insurance requirements

Starting and Managing an Import/Export Business takes you through these topics and more in a stepwise approach that will give you the confidence to enter the global marketplace without fear of the unknown.
