Export & Trade Handbook 2008

We’ve gone to great lengths to identify contributors who are industry specialists with solid business experience. Despite their subjects often being complex and potentially dry, they have done an excellent job. From their vast knowledge and experience, they have all met the brief extremely well: reduce the learning curve for international businesses. Identify the key issues, explain why they are so important and tell the reader what to do about them. Most importantly, use language the non-specialist will understand.
Accordingly you’ll find practical detailed information that will take you from planning through to finance, insurance, taxation, packaging and labelling, protecting your intellectual property, communicating with your market and delivering the product to market. Communications technology, globalisation and sustainability have created many opportunities and threats for New Zealand business. We address these and other issues throughout the chapters.
The territory is vast and way beyond the scope of a single book so there is also a comprehensive Help Desk chapter at the back. It lists contacts for the loads of organisations that can give you more information and support. Remember, there are 365 days of opportunity every year. What matters is what you do with them.
