Dictionary of International Trade, 8th Edition
Handbook of the Global Trade Community
The industry standard! Every business has its own language, lexicon and lingo, and international trade is no exception. Consider: ad valorem, C-TPAT, most favored nation, FAST, antidumping, NAFTA, countertrade, FOB, ocean bill of lading, letter of credit, FTZ, Harmonized Tariff Schedule, IMF and chaebol. International trade is a business where "I think I know" isn't good enough. What you don't know can really hurt you.
The World Trade Press Dictionary of International Trade is the most respected and largest-selling dictionary of trade in the world. It is used by importers, exporters, bankers, shippers, logistics professionals, attorneys, economists and government officials in more than 100 countries worldwide.
More than 250,000 copies in print!
