Protracted default in payment ( Importer has to pay
within four months of due date) and Under special
circumstances specified in the policy, buyer’s failure to
accept the goods though there is no fault on the part of
exporter.
 Political Risks
 (i) Imposition of restrictions in buyer’s country by the
Government for remittance sale proceeds which may
block or delay the payment to the exporter;
 Political risks…
 (ii) War, revolution or civil disturbances in the buyer’s
country;
 iii) New import restrictions in the buyer’s country of
cancellation of valid import license after the date of
shipment or contract, as applicable;
 (iv) Cancellation of valid export license or imposition of
new licensing restrictions after the date of contract,
applicable under Contracts Policy;
 (v) Payment of additional transportation and insurance
charges occasioned by interruption or diversion of voyage
which can not be recovered from the buyer and
 In case, where the buyer happens to be foreign Government
or Government department and it refuses to pay, the
default will fall under the category of political risks.
 What are the risks not covered under standard policies of Export Credit
Guarantee Corporation ECGC?
 Causes inherent in the nature of the goods;
 Buyer’s failure to obtain import license in his country;
 ECGC does not cover those risks that are covered by the commercial
insurers. Exporter can take comprehensive policy that covers both
commercial and political risks. If the exporter wants, he can take only
policy that covers political risks, depending on the requirements.
 (However, it is important to note ECGC does not issue the policy
covering only commercial risks)
 If the goods are confiscated by the customs on charges of smuggling,
then insurance does not cover.
 In Short, Export credit insurance is designed to protect exporters from
the consequences of the payment risks, both political and commercial,
and to enable them to expand their overseas business without fear of
loss.

markets and evaluating whether your company is “export-ready”;

procedures, export financing, and other requirements for exporting.

 There are several ways to evaluate the export potential of
your products and services in overseas markets.
 The most common approach is to examine the domestic
sales of your products
 Another way to assess your company’s potential in
exporting is by examining the unique or important
features of your product (hard to duplicate abroad, little
competition)
 FACT: Many companies assume that they can’t compete
overseas.
 INSIGHT: Even if your product or service has no obvious
foreign market yet, the world is a big place with many
needs and appetites. Remember, price isn’t the only selling
point. Other factors, such as need, utility, quality,
innovation, service, and consumer taste, can make your
company competitive.

 Once you’ve decided to sell your products abroad, you’ll need to develop an export plan.
 The following 10 questions should ultimately be addressed:
 Which products are selected for export development, and what modifications,
if any, must be made to adapt them for overseas markets?
 Which countries are targeted for sales development?
 In each country, what are the basic customer profile, and what marketing and
distribution channels should be used to reach customers?
 What special challenges pertain to each market (for example, competition,
cultural differences, and import controls), and what strategy will be used to
address them?
 How will your product’s export sales price be determined?
 What specific operational steps must be taken and when?
 What will be the time frame for implementing each element of the plan?
 What personnel and company resources will be dedicated to exporting?
 What will be the cost in time and money for each element?
 How will results be evaluated and used to modify the plan?
 FACT: The world economy grew by an estimated 3.8 percent in 2014 and is expected to
continue to grow during the next few years.
 INSIGHT: A high rate of economic growth around the world means more opportunities for
business. The trick is to pick international markets where growth prospects appear most
promising. That’s where a solid marketing strategy comes into play.
 Once you’ve decided that your company is able to export and is committed to it, the next step
is to develop a marketing plan.
 A clear marketing strategy offers six immediate benefits:
 1. Written plans readily display strengths and weaknesses.
 2. Written plans are not easily forgotten, overlooked, or ignored by those charged with
executing them. If deviation from the original plan occurs, it is likely to be the result of a
deliberate and thoughtful choice.
 3. Written plans are easier to communicate to others and are less likely to be misunderstood.
 4. Written plans allocate responsibilities and provide for an evaluation of results.
 5. Written plans are helpful when you are seeking financial assistance. They indicate to
lenders that you have a serious approach to the export venture.
 6. Written plans give management personnel a clear understanding of what will be required
of them and help ensure a commitment to exporting.
 This last advantage is especially important. Building an international business takes time. It
often takes months, sometimes even several years, before an exporting company begins to see
a return on its investment of time and money. By committing to the specifics of a written
plan, you can make sure that your company will finish what it begins and that the hopes that
prompted your export efforts will be fulfilled.
 The first time an export plan is developed, it should be kept
simple. It need be only a few pages long because important
market data and planning elements may not yet be available.
 The initial planning effort itself gradually generates more
information and insight. As you learn more about exporting and
your company’s competitive position, the export plan will
become more detailed and complete.
 From the start, your plan should be written and viewed as a
flexible management tool, not as a static document. Objectives
in the plan should be compared with actual results to measure
the success of different strategies. Your company should not
hesitate to modify the plan and make it more specific as new
information and experience are gained.
 A detailed plan is recommended for companies that intend to
export directly. Companies that choose indirect export methods
may use much simpler plans. For more information on different
approaches to exporting and their advantages and
disadvantages, 
 The world is open for business
 Selling globally is easier than ever.
 More help is available than ever.
 Your assumptions may not be accurate.
 You can transform your business—and yourself.
 The opportunity for selling into a single region and taking
advantage of Free Trade Agreement (FTA), is substantial. 
 According to a World Bank report, Global Economic
Prospects, trade in goods and services is likely to more
than triple by 2030. Over the same period, the global
economy will probably expand from $35 trillion in 2005 to
$72 trillion.

 Many banks also have publications available to help
exporters. These materials are often devoted to particular
countries and their business practices, and they may be a
valuable tool for familiarization with a foreign industry.
 Finally, large banks frequently conduct seminars and
workshops on letters of credit, documentary collections,
and other banking subjects of concern to exporters.
