Exporting and Importing JNB160
Introduction
The aim of this unit is to provide an introduction to the concepts, principles and practice of exporting and importing goods. The unit is arranged in 12 modules. It starts by examining classical and modern theories of international trade. Marketing is an essential element of export practice and therefore a significant portion of this unit is devoted to market selection, market entry strategies, and product pricing decisions. In addition, this unit considers the role of logistics in value adding of products. A major area of concern for traders is the finance and payment for traded goods. This unit explores the mechanisms which facilitate modern-day trade within the international regulatory framework. Finally, the unit examines the common procedures and documentation involved in exporting and importing.
