International Trading

Svah Traders Inc. import export view point

Import export businesses, also known as international trading, are one of the hottest commercial trends of this decade. American companies trade in over 2.5 trillion dollars a year in merchandise, of which small businesses control over 95 percent. As the owner of an import export enterprise, you can work as a distributor by focusing on exporting and importing goods and services that cannot be obtained on national soil (e.g., Russian caviar and French perfumes) or those that are cheaper when imported from other countries (e.g., Chinese electronics). In addition, you can also open an export management company (EMC), where you can help an existing corporation market its products in a foreign country by arranging the shipping and storing of the merchandise for them without doing the actual selling. EMCs can specialize in one industry or work with different types of import export manufacturers. It is also possible to act as a broker for a company, working on commission over the actual sales. This is a great choice for products that are guaranteed to sell because of high demand or an established brand name.

While basically any country can offer opportunities for import export trade, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and China have topped the trading chart for the past two decades. In the last few years, countries in the former Soviet Union and South America have become major players, but there's still much to learn about trading with these new markets.

Opening an import export business requires an initial investment of $5,000 or more, depending not only on the type of merchandise you're setting up to market, but also on whether you plan on working from home or renting an office, hiring employees, etc. Compared to other businesses, however, import export companies have a very low startup cost. While most products can be exported without the need for licenses, some specialty products or high-risk items, such as firearms or pharmaceuticals, may require special government permits. If that's the case, costs may run considerably higher.

To get started, it may be sensible to consult with the local Board of Trade (or the Chamber of Commerce in smaller cities) or call Consulates and Embassies to find out if they have import export programs set up. Many embassies even have a special department to promote the export of their goods to other countries and are more than happy to help potential import export traders.

Our goal is to explore the world of opportunities in import export field. The sky is the limit... literarily.

diagram - exporting process of rare commodities

  1. Initial contact is made, then verbal negotiations and contractual agreements are concluded including exchange of assay reports.
  2. Legalization. Both parties sign NCNDA (Non-Circumvention, Non-Disclosure & Working Agreement)
  3. Buyer opens irrevocable, transferable Letter of Credit payable at sight with their bank. This letter of credit is also known as 'Commercial Documentary Letter of Credit'. (Buyer's bank is called "Opening Bank" or "Issuing Bank" or "Originating bank.) (Buyer is responsible for their own bank charges) Opening Bank supplies Irrevocable Letter of Credit to Seller.
  4. "Opening Bank" advises the Seller's bank through correspondent or branch that a LC (Letter of Credit) has been opened in their favour. (The Seller's bank is called the "Advising Bank"). The advising bank or other bank will then verify and confirm the LC (Letter of Credit) for it's authenticity and assurance of payment hence the LC becomes a confirmed Irrevocable Commercial Documentary Letter of Credit.
  5. Seller reviews Term and Conditions of LC (Letter of Credit). When terms and conditions are agreed upon then seller sends goods and documents to freight forwarder. At this time an assay testing commenced as per terms and conditions of LC.
  6. Freight forwarder dispatches merchandise and provides documents to advising bank.
  7. Advising bank forwards documents to opening bank, which checks documents against LC, and authorizes payment if no discrepancies of the terms and conditions of LC are found. The sellers account is credited.
  8. The buyer's bank gives him/her the documents with which he/she can claim the merchandise.
