Q1. What do you mean by export? How many types of exports are there?
Discuss.
Answer. The term export means shipping the goods and services out of the port of
a country. The seller of such goods and services is referred to as an "exporter" and is
based in the country of export whereas the overseas based buyer is referred to as an
"importer". In international trade, "exports" refers to selling goods and services
produced in the home country to other markets.
Export of commercial quantities of goods normally requires involvement of the
customs authorities in both the country of export and the country of import. The
advent of small trades over the internet such as through Amazon and eBay has
largely bypassed the involvement of Customs in many countries because of the low
individual values of these trades.

order, simply stated, means that there should be an agreement in the form of a
document, between the exporter and importer before the exporter actually starts
producing or procuring goods for shipment. Generally an export order may take the
form of proforma invoice or purchase order or letter of credit. You have already learnt
these just in the preceding section.
