Export Import Management

The second edition of Export Import Management has been updated with two new chapters and new case studies. The text material has been restructured to focus on the changes since the last edition. It now has 21 chapters. Beginning with an introduction to the regulatory norms, related documentation, and letters of credit, the text goes on to discuss pre- and post-shipment finance, and business risks. It delves deep into topics such as logistics, transportation, ports, containerization, and incoterms in detail.
