Really Saved My Rear End, May 18, 2006
This review is from: Managing Exports: Navigating the Complex Rules, Controls, Barriers, and Laws (Hardcover)
I accidentally became an exporter two weeks ago. And this book REALLY brought me up to speed quickly and saved my rear end in a big way.
Up until two weeks ago, my products had all been sold domestically. I naively decided to accept an order from Japan, and before I knew it, I was an exporter. At first you might think...."Easy, I'll just box it up and give it to the FedEx guy" Ha! If you are shipping a high technology item, double Ha!! As my delivery date loomed, I bought this book, hoping that it could save me and prevent this sale from de-railing. Miracle of miracles, this book really worked.
I started reading the sections that I thought were most relevant, and then oddly found myself becoming fascinated with the entire subject. I started digging deeper into each chapter and learning more and more. Do you know that great feeling when you have added a new skill set to your repertoire? That's how I feel now.
I highly recommend this book. Not only does it contain great information for exports, but it actually helped me discover that this subject is actually quite fascinating and nuanced!
