Introduction
Proper export procedure and documentation is
crucial to international marketing, as both importer
and exporter are situated in different countries and
are governed by different legislative framework.
The export transaction chain consist of a number of
entities, which provide a smooth functioning of
business.
A number of government regulatory agencies

Both exporter and importer have to comply with
these regulations and trade customs.
Apart from these there are issues related to
payment.
Hence, an export manager has to make himself fully
aware of all of these.
