...Duty Exemption and Drawback Background[1] The Duty Exemption and Drawback facility enables exporters and deemed exporters to claim, within 6 months of exports, the duties and taxes paid on raw materials used in the export process. Apart from imported raw materials, businesses are entitled to duty exemption and drawback on taxes paid on utilities and, in some case, on the fuel consumed in the production process. Eligible exporters can claim their drawback by filing their claim with the Duty Exemption and Drawback Office (DEDO), which is an agency under the authority of the National Board of Revenue. The Customs Act, 1969 and the VAT Act 1991 governs the process. While Chapter VI of the Customs Act 1969 provides many of the guidelines, since the promulgation of the VAT Act 1991, drawback can also be claimed on inputs under Section 13, Rules 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 32(a), 33 and 34. Additional SROs that guide the process include SRO 154 (June 9, 2005) and SRO 157 (June 9, 2005). Eligible exporters can enjoy this facility under two broad categories – a duty exemption or a duty drawback. Under the duty drawback system, exporters get refunds of the duties and indirect taxes they have paid on imported inputs. Duty may be refunded in three ways: a) actual drawback, b) national drawback, and c) flat rate drawback. Due to fewer complications and ease of operation, the flat rate system remains the most preferred method of refund. There are also two other ways of making such...

Export are the most easier and less risk if someone new to business want to explore and upgrade their market. As for me, I choose to export fish to Jordan. It is because this country until nowadays still dependent on exports especially export in mining-based product and this country’s export earnings is really vulnerable to world markets so it will make my company more easier to come into world market share. Jordan also one of country that their market really sophisticated and really promising to get profit. They have a lot of strength that can attract company to export product to Jordan. One of that strength is they have large supply of natural resources especially in their wealth in metals and minerals such as a strong demand from other country. Addition, my product is such as Halal product that there would be no problem for my product to come into this country and other countries also. Next, this country’s economy really well establish and their infrastructure also kind of modern. Their infrastructure really world class. Not only their modern transport network, but they are also widely available energy and sophisticated telecommunications facilities. Price of product that export to Jordan cheaper than their own product. So if I export my product to this country I will get more profit by increase a little bit...

...Export Documentation Exporters should seriously consider having the freight forwarder handle the formidable amount of documentation that exporting requires as forwarders are specialists in this process. The following documents are commonly used in exporting; but which of them are necessary in a particular transaction depends on the requirements of the U.S. government and the government of the importing country. • Air freight shipments are handled by air waybills, which can never be made in negotiable form • A bill of lading is a contract between the owner of the goods and the carrier (as with domestic shipments). For vessels, there are two types: a straight bill of lading which is nonnegotiable and a negotiable or shipper's order bill of lading. The latter can be bought, sold, or traded while the goods are in transit. The customer usually needs an original as proof of ownership to take possession of the goods • A commercial invoice is a bill for the goods from the seller to the buyer. These invoices are often used by governments to determine the true value of goods when assessing customs duties. Governments that use the commercial invoice to control imports will often specify its form, content, number of copies, language to be used, and other characteristics. • A consular invoice is a document that is required in some countries. It describes the shipment of goods and shows information such as the consignor, consignee, and value of the shipment. Certified by...

...Export Readiness Analysis 2XU is an Australian sports apparel company established in 2005, the firm employs 45 full time employees making the firm a SME (Small and Medium Sized Enterprise) (Global Execellance, 2013). The firm specialises in producing compression clothing in the growing international sportswear market, which is worth US$244 billion (Heathcote, 2013). 2XU began as born global, with goals to establish itself as a global brand from conception. These goals were achieved in 2007, with direct exports to distributors based in the United States. Since, 2007 the firm has established itself as a gloabal brand with exports to 57 countries world wide (Heathcote, 2013). A crucial aspect of 2XU establishing itself as an international firm, has been the successful application of Export Market Development Grants from Austrade totalling $500,000 (Australian, Business Financing Centre, 2013); with the EMDG, reducuing the initial costs of exporting. While 2XU, has already established itself as a global firm, the company needs to continue its expansion into new markets, if it is to achieve is goal of $1 billion of sales within the next 10 to 15 years. Therefore it must be asked, is 2XU is ready to begin exporting to a new market? Export readiness measures how prepared a firm is to conduct its business within a new export market. An Export ready firm must fufill three criteria, it must have; a competitive advantage, suitable and adequete resources and have a clear strategy...

A preliminary analysis of the spatial determinants of firms’ export activities by Indian states has been undertaken in this study. The size of technological knowledge stock, port facilities and credit availability in a state are observed to be favouring higher export intensity of local firms. All these call for state’s policy attention to improve regional knowledge base, strengthening of port facilities or ensuring better transportation networks to ports and improved credit availability if local firms were to face the least hurdles in their efforts to internationalize. Fiscal incentives continue to promote firms’ export activities. In addition, firms own characteristics considerably determine their export behaviour. Keywords ...

...IMPORT An import is a good brought into a jurisdiction, especially across a national border, from an external source. The party bringing in the good is called an importer. An import in the receiving country is an export from the sending country. Importation and exportation are the defining financial transactions of international trade. In international trade, the importation and exportation of goods are limited by import quotas and mandates from the customs authority. The importing and exporting jurisdictions may impose a tariff (tax) on the goods. In addition, the importation and exportation of goods are subject to trade agreements between the importing and exporting jurisdictions. "Imports" consist of transactions in goods and services to a resident of a jurisdiction (such as a nation) from non-residents. The exact definition of imports in national accountsincludes and excludes specific "borderline" cases. A general delimitation of imports in national accounts is given below: * An import of a good occurs when there is a change of ownership from a non-resident to a resident; this does not necessarily imply that the good in question physically crosses the frontier. However, in specific cases national accounts impute changes of ownership even though in legal terms no change of ownership takes place (e.g. cross border financial leasing, cross border deliveries between affiliates of the same enterprise, goods crossing the border for significant processing to order or repair)...

...Determinants of exports CHAPTER I 1.1 INTRODUCTION There are theoretical literatures which predict the proportion of a firm's sales that is exported, i.e. a firm's export intensity. Mostly, exporting is merely regarded as an interim stage in the development of a company, preceding foreign direct investment or, in some cases, licensing and foreign direct investment. Consequently, theoretical contributions are primarily concerned with the relationship between exporting and foreign direct investment and the optimal timing for switching between these alternative market entry strategies. In contrast, there are a large number of empirical studies which investigate various determinants of export intensity. The majority of the past research, however, is recognized to be of an electic nature (Bilkey, 1978) and judged to suffer from methodological flaws (Reid, 1980). Exports have been growing much faster than GDP in most countries. For some developing countries, exports are indeed the main element of production, apart from some agricultural sector and from basic services. The aim of this paper is to explain the determinants of firms export and to combine them into a coherent econometric model. The parameters of this model are subsequently estimated for a sample of large scale Electronics companies. The Electronics Industry in India took off around 1965 with an orientation towards space and defense technologies. The period...

...EXPORT STRATEGY ASSESSING A PRODUCT'S EXPORT POTENTIAL There are several ways to gauge the overseas market potential of products and services. (For ease of reading, products are mentioned more than services in this guide, but much of the discussion applies to both.) One of the most important ways is to assess the product's success in domestic markets. If a company succeeds at selling in a domestic market, there is a good chance that it will also be successful in markets abroad, wherever similar needs and conditions exist. In markets that differ significantly from the domestic market, some products may have limited potential. Those differences may be climate and environmental factors, social and cultural factors, local availability of raw materials or product alternatives, lower wage costs, lower purchasing power, the availability of foreign exchange (hard currencies like the dollar, the British pound, and the Japanese yen), government import controls, and many other factors. If a product is successful in a domestic market, one strategy for export success may be a careful analysis of why it sells here, followed by a selection of similar markets abroad. In this way, little or no product modification is required. If a product is not new or unique, low-cost market research may already be available to help assess its overseas market potential. In addition, international trade statistics (available in many local libraries) can give a preliminary indication of overseas markets for a...
