2  Exports  Are measured fob (free-on-board)  Imports  Are measured cif (cost-insurance-freight)  Exports are receipts of forex into a country, imports are debits  Normally, cif/fob ratio is 1.03

3  FOB to Dover – domestic tax  CIF from Calais – for comparison with domestic rivals England France

4  Opportunity  Increase revenue  Avoid risk of operating abroad  Access to economies of scale  Low cost expansion  Large firms proactive in exporting  Risks  Loss of control and responsiveness  SMEs lack overseas contacts and knowledge – globalisation is changing this  Intimidated by mechanics of exporting

5  Probability of being an exporter increases with company size defined by revenues  Companies with risk-taking managers are more likely to export  Leading firms influence the probability  Export intensity, the % of revenues coming from exports, is related more to firm-specific factors (management etc.) than firm size

8  You are the sales director of a British pharmaceutical company  Your company has developed a new antibiotic drug  The drug can be sold cheaply if it produced at high volumes  Why should you look at exporting?  What would be your export strategy to these countries?  USA  North Korea

12  Letter of Credit (L/C)  Bank guarantee on behalf of importer to exporter assuring payment when exporter presents specified documents  Bill of Lading  Issued to exporter, by carrier.

13  Imports  Industrial and consumer goods and services  Part of the firm’s global supply chain  Importers  Those looking for any product  Those looking at foreign sourcing to get their products at the cheapest prices  Those looking for foreign sourcing as a part of their global supply chain

14  Trade carried out wholly or partially in goods rather than money  Barter: Direct exchange of goods and services between two parties without a cash transaction  Counterpurchase: Reciprocal buying agreement  Offset: purchase goods/services with a specified percentage of the proceeds from original sale  Switch trading: A third-party trading house buys the firm’s counterpurchase credits and sells them to another that can better use them  Compensation or buybacks: Take certain percentage of plant’s output as partial payment for the contract
