The Handbook of International Trade and Finance The complete guide for international sales, finance, shipping and administration

This handbook was originally published more than 40 years ago, and has since been expanded and updated in new editions. Originally it was published as separate country-specific editions in different European countries where it soon became a reference handbook for companies, banks and other institutions involved in international trade, irrespective of their size or the nature of their business. However, for practical and logistical reasons it was not possible to cover more than a handful of countries in this way, thus the idea for a completely new and country-neutral edition that could be marketed in most countries involved in international trade around the world. The only drawback with this approach is that it is then not feasible to describe the specifics for every country; on the other hand, the basic aspects of international trade, payments and finance are almost the same all over the world, which is also the basis for this handbook.
