Format:Paperback
Useful book but not for dummies, has info overload, so very boring to read. I started reading it and it put me off thinking about import/export business. Would recommend to find another source.

Format:Paperback
This book should be an absolute must for anyone looking to get into import/export. As the previous review mentions, there is a lot of information in the book. However, i`m not really sure how this can be perceived as a negative. I have not yet found a query that I was unable to find an answer to by reference to the book. A major strength for me is the way in which the reader is pointed towards the various resources available online. I really cannot find any negative points worth mentioning. However, what I would say is that the book is specifically tailored towards US importers and exporters. Worth bearing in mind if you are based outwith the US.

This book is a treasure trove of information, advice and resource contact data for anyone thinking of going into, or already in, the import-export field. In a conversational style, the author walks the newcomer to international business through the myriad of challenges, regulations, and opportunities inherent in doing business with overseas interests. This book should be required reading for anyone thinking of importing or exporting!

OK for bottom line beginners to import/export
16 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I read this book. I would recommend it for someone that has absolutely zero knowledge of international trade. If you have basic knowledege it will only be review of the basics. I'm almost done with Building an Import/Export Business by Weiss and this book was much more informative and helpful for me.

Wonderful, Informative, a Necessity
23 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
Import/Export for Dummies is a useful tool for anyone interested in seeking opportunities in importing or exporting. After reading the book I learned more than I anticipated, and my mind is enlightened to many details that I was not aware of prior to reading it. For example I am currently seeking opportunities to import goods to the United States from the Czech Republic, such as pudding-yogurts. The book informed me of all that I need to consider to make any potential deal or order go through smoothly without any penalties or errors that could result in a financial loss. It provided me the guidelines I will need in negotiating with prospective suppliers in the Czech Republic, and how to go about identifying customers in the U.S.
The book is written in a simple and clear approach.
The book is easy to understand and its simplicity is amazing. It is segmented into five parts which focus on setting up the business, learning how to identify applicable rules and regulations, identifying suppliers, find customers and develop an understanding about certain procedures that are unique in importing and exporting (such as: terms of sale, methods of payment, customs clearance procedures, etc.)
As in most Dummies books, examples are abundant, and the author has provided great insight with examples from his professional life and students who attended his seminars.
The book is also full of excellent resources, including a detailed list international trade commission offices for all countries located throughout the United States. These offices can provide assistance in identifying suppliers and also provide valuable insight in the how to do business in specific countries. Additionally, the book also provides information as to various free resources available on the internet.
I would rate this book as an absolute necessity for someone interested in starting their own import or export business. It is the "bible" of importing and exporting that can help inform, warn, and assist you in what you need to know, and do, to make sure the goods you are importing or exporting will move without problems.
