      Introduction

      The global marketplace is a fast-growing and rapidly changing field. International business is exploding as a direct result of changes in technology, rapidly expanding economies, and international trade agreements; the United States imported $2.8 trillion and exported $2.3 trillion in goods in 2013. If you want to start your own international business or diversify the activities of your existing firms, you’ve come to the right place.

       About This Book

      Import/Export For Dummies is a reference book – something you can keep on your desk and turn to when you have questions, as well as something you can read through from beginning to end if you like. Either way, this book helps you determine whether the business of international trade is for you. In this book, you

      ✔ Explore how to set up an office for international trade

      ✔ Find products to import and export

      ✔ Identify target markets and find customers

      ✔ Make sense of applicable rules and regulations

      ✔ Find out how to complete the necessary licensing application and shipping documents

      ✔ Understand the process of international negotiations and cultural differences

      Finally, Import/Export For Dummies gives you know-how and up-to-date info that you need in order to enter or advance in the challenging and highly rewarding world of importing and exporting.

       Foolish Assumptions

      I don’t make many assumptions about you as the reader of the book, but I do assume the following:

      ✔ You may be an entrepreneur or an owner of a small to medium-size business, and you’re looking to get involved in importing and/or exporting.

      ✔ You may be an employee of a business that’s planning to get involved in importing and exporting, and you want to be in the know.

      ✔ You have some business experience, but you may never have imported or exported before.

      ✔ You may be a college or business student taking an import/export course, and you want information in plain English.

       Icons Used in This Book

      Icons are those little images in the left-hand margins of the book, designed to draw your attention to certain kinds of information. Here’s what they mean:

      

When you see the Tip icon, you can be sure to find a helpful piece of information that’ll save you time or money or just make your life as an importer/exporter easier.

      

Ouch! You may get burned if you don’t heed these warnings.

      

You don’t have to memorize this book, but occasionally, I tell you something that bears repeating or that you’ll want to commit to memory. When I do, I mark the info with this icon.

      

Sometimes I tell you more information than you really need on a particular subject, and when I do, I flag that info with this icon. If you just want the basics, skip anything marked with this icon.
