5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, yet practical hard to find info., 12 Feb 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Building an Import/Export Business (Paperback)

Great for the new exporter/importer. This is the age of international business. This book quickly adapted us to the lucrative import/export world's vernacular. I recommend it to larger businesses too for the examples it gives.

2.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book if your in the USA or Canada, 19 Sep 2007

J. Fernando "biz shark" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Building an Import/Export Business (Paperback)

As the other reviews suggest the book appears to be well-written and easy to follow; however all the tax laws and trade agreements mentioned apply to businesses operating from the US or Canada.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of top 3 or 4 books for home-based importers/exporte, 12 Feb 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Building an Import/Export Business (Paperback)

Written simply with practical scenarios and information. This is a the book to start with but you will find yourself referring to it often later also, years later. Import/export courses are hard to find - mostly learned from experience in the industry or by reading. We feel this is the best book on importing AND exporting avaiable in the USA.
