Customer Reviews:
Good Reference.......2007-04-20
This is not the most interesting read in the world, but it contains good information. If you have an import business, this is a must have for your reference library.
A Basic Guide to Importing.......2006-01-31
This is like the dictionary not good reading but a must have when you need to look up a word. Only a fraction of the material will be about your specific situation or product. Most if not all this info is available at the customs service website but is good to have it in one place.
Just got to customs website.......2005-01-09
All of the information in this book is available through the US customs website. Don't waste your money.
Not at all written in a user friedly manner either, just lists all sorts of rules.
A little vague, but it's a MUST HAVE.......2002-07-08
It is not a user-friendly book, but it supplies a lot of guidelines fot the beginning importer. I recommend you to buy it, but supplement it with specific info on the article(s) you intend to import (food, clothing, machinery, etc.).
A must-have reference book for international trade........2001-07-07
Wow! What a useful book it is! It is an essential reference that provides concise, accurate, and informative expertise especially on importing. If you are looking for a reliable resource about importing regulations and entry procedures, this is the one that you should consider!!!

Book Description
The Wassermann Philosophy describes the simple way in which industrial enterprises can achieve considerably greater profits within a few short months. Supply Chain Management achieves a consistently more profitable and faster-reacting organization. More than 95% of the working time in the organization is expended on inventory and customer orders laid up waiting for further processing or shipping. You can imagine the profits that are devoured by the bottlenecks, together with the misplanning which they cause, and the surpluses that occur day after day in your organization. The bottlenecks have to be eliminated! How this can be done successfully is described in this book. To date this path has been followed by more than 60 companies.

Book Description
It is appropriate that at a time of enormous change and opportunity in the international trade scene and procurement environment that Alan Branch has chosen to write International Purchasing and Management, a unique and authoritative guide to the essential and strategic buying of products overseas. Written in his usual lucid and pragmatic style, the book looks at all of the stages involved in the international purchasing process to secure a delivered competitive price quotation from the suppliers premises to the buyers warehouse. It particularly reflects the international environment/infrastructure in which the goods are purchased. Branch takes the reader through the initial rationale of a company business to buy overseas, the selection and negotiation processes, the importing/exporting methodology, and finally the logistics of distribution and payment. Particular emphasis is also placed upon risk areas, the competitive environment and future trends. International Purchasing and Management includes a series of case studies; additional features on cargo insurance, Inco Terms 2000 and import customs practice planning, and an appendix of trade terms and abbreviations. This book will prove essential for CIPS, BTEC and degree courses on International Trade and Marketing, Retail Buying, Logistics and Purchasing, as well as for courses by trade associations and Chambers of Commerce, and as an `aide memoire' to importers and overseas buyers.
