Into the book
In the case of exports, manufacturers can export their own products, but if they are not manufacturers, they must find export products.
In the case of imports, it is necessary to conduct a domestic market survey to determine which products to import.
In this case, you must first check whether there are any problems with domestic imports.
--- p.28

The exporter prepares purchasing documents such as a bill of exchange to receive payment.
In the case of a letter of credit transaction, the required number of documents required by the letter of credit are prepared.
It is also necessary to check whether the contents of the Bill of Lading (B/L) issued by the shipping company and the Insurance Policy (I/P) issued by the insurance company are written accurately according to the contents of the letter of credit.
If there is a difference, immediately request a correction from the issuing company.
--- p.65

Each document that appears in trade practice has its own unique format.
You should know how to read documents and their features so that you can apply them in practice.
It is important to accurately prepare and verify the contents of documents required for export and import, such as invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, letters of credit, bills of exchange, insurance policies, and certificates of origin.
Therefore, let's make sure we understand how to write trade documents, and the nature, function, and role of each document.
--- p.107

A trade transaction is when an exporter sells goods to an importer and collects or pays the price.
Basically, it is a relationship of mutual trust, but unlike domestic transactions, it is difficult to know the circumstances of the overseas counterparty (such as the political and economic conditions of the other country or the counterparty's credit status) due to the different business environment, so an objective credit investigation is absolutely necessary.
--- p.176

If there is any difference between the contents of the letter of credit and the contract, immediately request the importer to amend the contents of the letter of credit.
After receiving the revised version, check the contents and attach the revised version to the original letter of credit when purchasing and request the purchase process.
This is the most desirable method when you have time to spare.
--- p.196

In trade transactions, there is a time lag between the delivery of goods and payment because the counterparty is located overseas.
A way to avoid that risk is a letter of credit (L/C).
A letter of credit is a guarantee that the importer's bank will pay the exporter.
The exporter requests the purchase of a bill of exchange that complies with the terms of the letter of credit and receives payment.
Therefore, exporters can export with confidence because they can avoid the risk of payment collection.
--- p.213

Trade documents are diverse and each document has its own role.
Therefore, you must understand the contents of each type of document required for trade practice and be able to write them accurately.
Mistakes made through carelessness when writing documents can sometimes be irreversible, so it is important to be extremely careful when writing documents.
In particular, the amount notation on a bill of exchange (B/E) cannot be modified, so accuracy is even more important.
--- p.288
