Exporting and selling goods in foreign countries is one of the activities that without sufficient information, it causes the loss of capital and reputation of a country in a specialized product.Therefore, such measures should be taken with sufficient information in order to identify the target markets and guarantee the future of the business in addition to obtaining economic benefits.
In general, the export steps are as follows, which we have briefly discussed:
Establishment of a company: In order to carry out all economic affairs formally, a public or private joint stock company must first be established and the affairs related to financial capital, manpower, taxes, etc. must be performed. He then proceeded to produce or purchase and process a product, and then began the process of exporting a product.Marketing: The first and most important step in exporting. Marketing means knowing the foreign markets and ways to penetrate it. Achieving this knowledge through negotiating with buyers, using official information and statistics, participating in international exhibitions, contacting business advisers in embassies and chambers of commerce, as well as inquiries. It is possible from international institutions and centers that provide services in this regard.Issuance of pre-invoice: In order to acquaint the buyer of the goods with the type of exported goods and its seller, the exporter is obliged to send a pre-invoice containing this type of information to that person, company or government organization. These invoices are in English and are available to exporters.Obtaining an export license from relevant bodies and organizations: After marketing, the exporter must obtain an export license from the Ministries of Industry, Agriculture or Commerce, but currently the export of most goods does not require a license and only licenses for certain goods. An item is issued.Foreign exchange contract or commitment: The issuer must submit the foreign exchange contract to the bank (Office of Purification and Export Affairs) by providing the necessary documents, including the price approved by the rating commission. Now that the export conditions have become easier, instead of a foreign exchange contract, the exporter receives a foreign exchange commitment from the bank and after signing it, commits to return the foreign exchange earned from the export.Obtaining a certificate of origin and issuing a sales invoice: At this stage, the origin sales invoice is issued by the exporter of the goods and is approved by the existing chamber of commerce. The Chamber of Commerce issues the goods after viewing the sales invoice of origin, the bill of lading and the customs license. With the expansion of e-government, customs affairs have not been without this and by providing online services, exporters can obtain their certificate of origin by referring to the Chamber of Commerce system.Export of goods In the final stage, the transport company receives a customs clearance permit from the exporter of the goods and transports it to the destination country after loading.
