I have worked for three years, and now I am switching to foreign trade. Any suggestions?

1: First of all, we should understand the concept of foreign trade-foreign trade is also called "foreign trade" or "import and export trade", which refers to the exchange of goods, services and technologies between one country (region) and another. This trade includes two parts: import and export. For countries (regions) that import goods or services, it is import; For countries (regions) that transport goods or services, it is export. This began to appear and develop in slave society and feudal society, and it developed more rapidly in capitalist society. Its nature and function are determined by different social systems.

2. General process:

1). In the early stage of foreign trade negotiations, proforma invoices are made for quotation, trading reference or customers applying for import licenses.

2) After the transaction is confirmed, make a foreign trade contract.

3) When preparing for delivery, make commercial invoices, packing lists, verification forms and customs declarations, and apply for export commodity inspection and customs clearance forms.

4) After the customs declaration, the customs will return the verification form, the verification form of foreign exchange receipt in the customs declaration form, etc.

5). After delivery and shipment, obtain the bill of lading (sometimes direct release).

6). If the payment method is letter of credit, it is necessary to make, apply for and sort out a complete set of documents required by customers, such as invoices, packing lists, commodity inspection certificates, certificates of origin, beneficiary certificates, etc. , in order to collect the money.

7. Write-off and tax refund shall be handled by receipt of foreign exchange receipt, verification form and customs declaration form.

As can be seen from the above, it is far from enough to have a basic knowledge of spoken English. First of all, you should learn foreign trade knowledge in a large area, such as documentary knowledge, documentary knowledge, international settlement, international law, international logistics and customs declaration knowledge. Comprehensive understanding, this is a foundation.

Interlaced like a mountain, there are many products in foreign trade, such as textiles, raw materials, processing, and so on. You should choose an industry you like, do this, start with the simplest assistant, documentation and follow-up, and understand every link thoroughly. Business is the job that needs comprehensive skills most, which requires not only a solid foundation, but also a high emotional intelligence.

Select the target, strive to cultivate their comprehensive and specific skills, and strive to refuel, which is bound to succeed.
