Introduction
Exporting is indispensable part of international business.
Goods manufactured in one country , destined for another
, must be moved across border to enter the distribution
system of the target market.
Most countries control the movement of goods crossing
their borders, whether leaving(export) or entering(import).
Export and Import documents , tariffs ,quotas and
other barriers to the free flow of goods between
nations are requirements that must be met by either
the exporter or the importer or both.
The mechanism of exporting adds extra steps and costs to
an international business process.
In addition to selecting a target
market, designing an appropriate
product , establishing a price,
planning a promotional program
and selecting a distribution
channel, the international marketer
must meet the legal requirements
of moving goods from one country to
another.

Need for these regulations
There are many reasons why countries impose
some form of regulation and restriction on the
exporting and importing of goods.
Export regulations can be designed to conserve
scarce goods for home consumption or to
control the flow of strategic goods to actual
or potential enemies.
Import regulations may be imposed to protect
health ,conserve foreign exchange, serve as
economic reprisals, protect home industry,
or provide revenue in the form of tariffs.
Export Documents
Each export shipment requires
various documents to satisfy
government regulations
controlling exporting as well as to
meet requirements for
international commercial
payment transactions.
The most frequently required
documents are :
Licenses
A general license permits exportation of
certain commodities with nothing more than a
declaration of the type of product, its value
,and its destination.
A validate license is issued only on formal
application, is a specific document
authorizing exportation within specific
limitations.
It is required for exporting strategic goods or
when exporting to unfriendly countries.
For eg. Arms and ammunition.
Other Export Documents
In addition to a validated license, certain
shipment must be supported by
documents supplied by the prospective
purchaser or the government of the
country of destination.
International Import Certificate certifies that
the exported products will be disposed of
responsibily in the designated country. This
form is ordinarily obtained by the importer
from his or her government.
Export Declaration To maintain a statistical
measure of the quantity of goods shipped
abroad and to provide a means of determining
whether regulations are being met , most
countries require shipments abroad to be
accompanied by an export declaration.
