Features: As a monograph in the field of international procurement, this book was written and published in response to the requests of many readers. I have written 11 topics on international trade, and readers from the business and academic communities worldwide have consistently requested the publication of a comprehensive guide on how to economically and effectively procure goods and services overseas. Such a guide would include competitive buyer contracts and international distribution of goods and services delivered by suppliers to purchasers; purchasing negotiations conducted with respect for supplier etiquette/culture; formulating delivery terms based on the Incoterms 2000; arranging trade financing through the most favorable international arrangements; and processing international goods, including all transportation arrangements, insurance, and all necessary documents required between suppliers and purchasers. Therefore, this book focuses on the key points and strategies of overseas procurement. This book is a monograph in the field of international procurement, comprehensively and systematically elaborating on the strategic and practical strategies of international procurement. It takes the Incoterms 2000 as a guideline and is based on internationally accepted trade management principles. It emphasizes both the novelty of international procurement theory, methods, and tools, as well as the practical operation of rules, regulations, and conventions in international procurement. This enables readers to grasp the theory of procurement while also gaining systematic practical knowledge, thereby better understanding the overall picture of international procurement theory and practice.
