Abstract
In international markets the situation is often more complex than in local markets. In local markets it is possible that the parties may have known each other for some time and have built a certain level of trust. Trading risk in local markets is much less than in international markets. There are a number of methods of trade and settlement of trade accounts. Details of various methods of trade that are available to buyers and sellers for trading indicating the risks involved and the benefits are discussed in the following pages. Before importers and exporters decide to do business with each other they need to understand and adopt a method suitable to meet their specific needs.
