International Trading Process

Many companies do business with other countries, like importing and exporting. How to do business by trading? Today I want to introduce you an exporting process. First, Sales Department has to get firm orders from customers. Then Purchasing Department release the orders to vendors. The factory produce all parts for the orders. After the process is finished, the workers need to prepare all parkaging and make sure it is hard. At the same time, Shipping Department needs to confirm shipping details and book a ship for the shipment. The information includes ETD (estimated time of departure), ETA (estimated time of arrival) and S/A (shipping advice). Not only these but also documents are required. The prepared invoice, packing list and B/L are sent to customers. The process seems to complete so far, but don't forget to make collections and remind customers for the payment, money is very important. Finally, selling goods and providing good service, that will make company sustainable business.
