Many people are drawn to International Trade, import/export, like moths to a candle.

Perhaps its romantic visions of camel caravans winding slowly across the desert sands; square rigged sailing ships bringing exotic cargoes across the high seas; or to be more contemporary, delivering container loads of merchandise to your local department store and making a small, or preferably large, fortune.

The reality is that many importers and exporters have lost their fortunes, due to circumstances often beyond their control.

Through:-

• government policy changes;

• importer’s cargo lost, destroyed, or worse, not delivered;

• insurance claims rejected;

• strikes by wharfies or longshoremen delaying cargo; or

• exporters who have had payments default.

The dilemma?

Whether or not to take a chance in importing or exporting.
