Introduction
Import-Export Procedures
Import-Export is a form of international trade and business.
Actually, import as well as export is important to every nation’s economy.
Import enables us to obtain commodities or resources which are rare in our
country, and export is obviously beneficial to our country’s economy in the
way that we can earn money from outside.
We may already know that import means buying goods or services
2
from another country, and export means selling goods or services from one
country to another country. However, in import and export there are many
steps involved, which makes it more complicated than selling and buying
within one country. As import-export is similar to a coin which has two sides,
if we understand export, it should enable us to understand import. We will
look at the export procedures.
First of all, the exporter must introduce his product to potential
importers. Most of the time the importer learns about the exporter’s product
from advertisements in publications printed by organizations concerned
with international trade, or from seeing the product at a trade exhibition in
the exporter’s or importer’s country.

(if the goods are sent by air)
After learning that there is an interesting product available, the
importer may contact the exporter and ask for a sample, if the product
sample is available and necessary for the importer’s decision making.
Together with the sample, the importer would request that the exporter send
a quotation and a price list.
When the importer is pleased with the product sample and the
price quoted, he will send a purchase order (P.O.) for that product to the
exporter. Then the exporter sends a proforma invoice to the importer after
the exporter is certain about the exporter’s financial status.

The next step is that the importer brings the proforma invoice to a
bank and applies for a letter of credit or L/C (in the case that the method of
payment agreed upon is through letter of credit). This bank is going to issue
a letter of credit for the importer as requested, so this bank is known as an
‘issuing bank’. The issuing bank then sends the L/C to the bank in the
exporter’s country as specified. This bank is known as an ‘advising bank’. It
must be a bank that has a contact with the issuing bank, or in other words it
is a ‘corresponding bank’ of the other. Then, the advising bank informs the
exporter of the L/C
Finally, the exporter collects all the documents required as
specified in the L/C and brings them to the advising bank, and gets paid.
Normally the required documents are:
2. Bill of Exchange (Draft)
1. Bill of Lading
(if the goods are sent by sea)
or
Airway Bill
(if the goods are sent by air)
2. Bill of Exchange (Draft)
3. Commercial Invoice

4. Packing List
5. L/C
Sometimes some other documents are also required. They are the following:
1. Certificate of Origin
2. Export License
3. Consular Invoice
4. Analysis and Health Certificate
5. Sanitary Certificate
When the exporter gets an L/C, he can be certain that he will get
the payment for the goods ordered by the importer. As a result, he
produces or acquires the goods that are needed and gets them through the
export customs. Then the goods are sent to the ship or the plane as agreed
upon. At this stage the goods are on the way to the importer.
There are many topics influencing or affecting import and export.
They are currency exchange, international organizations, border trade,
copyright and intellectual property, containerized vessels, and electronic
commerce. Actually there are a lot more issues involving import-export.
However, in the lessons, those are the themes chosen to be the base for
developing each unit and some important documents are selected to
5
include in each chapter.
