New International Financing Resource
The International Trade Administration (ITA), part of the U.S.
Department of Commerce, has released the second edition of The Trade
Finance Guide: A Quick Reference for U.S. Exporters (TFG) on April 17,
2008. Since the release of the first edition in April 2007, over
5,000 printed copies have been distributed to the public and its online
version has been downloaded approximately 20,000 times from the
Commerce Department website. Follow the link for the 2008 on-line edition.
The TFG was developed to help U.S. exporters, specifically small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), gain practical knowledge of trade
finance. The TFG helps SMEs learn how to manage the risks
associated with doing business internationally and turn their export
opportunities into paid sales. Twelve concise, two-page chapters offer
the basics of numerous financing techniques, from open accounts, to
export credit insurance, to government-assisted foreign buyer
financing.
