DICTIONARY OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE TERMS

TRADESTATS EXPRESS
OUR FEATURED COUNTRY SITE -- INDONESIA
Hello, John McDonnell here, with your latest issue of Really Useful Sites for
International Trade Professionals. This week I'm looking East, with profiles of
Web sites about Indonesia and Asian news. And, I have a U.S. government site
that has tons of trade statistics in an easily-digestible format. Finally, I
found a site that will help you speak the language of international trade -- it
has a dictionary of hundreds of trade terms, plus links to seriously useful
resources.
If you'd like more information about international trade, go to FITA's
International Trade/ Import-Export Portal <http://fita.org> ( http://fita.org
), an excellent source for trade leads, news, events, and a link library of
7,000 sites related to international trade.
DICTIONARY OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE TERMS
http://www.itds.treas.gov/glossaryfrm.html
Every industry has its unique terms, and international trade is no different.
Words like "bailment", "mala fides", and "tender" have their own special
meanings in the business of trade, and if you want to learn them, go to the
Dictionary of International Trade Terms
<http://www.itds.treas.gov/glossaryfrm.html> (
http://www.itds.treas.gov/glossaryfrm.html ). This dictionary, part of the
International Trade Data System of the U.S. Customs Service, has hundreds of
definitions of trade terms, written in layman's language. You'll get an
education in international trade just by browsing the entries at this site.
You'll also find downloadable harmonized tariff schedules here, as well as
dozens of other useful links for trade (under Importing/Exporting Resources).
CHANNELNEWSASIA.COM
http://www.channelnewsasia.com
If you have business interests in the fast-changing region of Asia, you need to
keep up on the latest news. Channelnewsasia.com
<http://www.channelnewsasia.com/> ( http://www.channelnewsasia.com ) is a site
that features Asian news exclusively, and it's a good site to visit on a
regular basis. You can click on the headlines at the home page if you see
something interesting, or browse the categories (Business, Sports, Technology,
Finance, etc.) for more specific stories. There are also special reports,
travel tips, weather information, t.v. and radio listings, discussion forums,
and more.

TRADESTATS EXPRESS
http://tse.export.gov
The U.S. government has dozens of Web sites with useful information for
international trade, and now there's a new one that has trade statistics
presented in colorful, easy-to- understand tables and charts. TradeStats
Express <http://tse.export.gov> ( http://tse.export.gov ) has information about
U.S. imports and exports that you can slice and dice in many combinations. The
search parameters include: imports or exports; the U.S. as a whole or
individual states; geographic regions, countries, or trading associations
(e.g., NAFTA); and products (cereals, coffee, dairy products, etc.). The data
shown is from 1997- 2002, so you can get a feel for trends in the various
categories.
OUR FEATURED COUNTRY SITE -- INDONESIA
http://www.business-in-indonesia.net/indonesia.html
Indonesia is a study in contrasts. Although it's a country, it's actually a
group of islands -- 17,000 altogether. And although 95 percent of the islands
are not permanently inhabited, one of the islands, Java, is one of the most
densely populated areas in the world, with more than 107 million people living
in an area the size of New York State. Like all island countries, Indonesia
depends heavily on trade -- in 2001 it imported US $31 billion -- so this could
be fertile ground for those who are interested in new markets.
If you want to learn more about opportunities in Indonesia, go to
Business-in-Indonesia.net <http://www.business-in-indonesia.net/indonesia.html>
( http://www.business-in-indonesia.net/indonesia.html ). This site has links to
statistics, economic and political profiles, market reports, news, key words to
help you communicate, an international trade glossary, travel tips, weather
forecasts, government contacts, a list of important holidays, and much more.
The American Indonesian Chamber of Commerce <http://www.aiccusa.org/> is a FITA
member association. They also have an excellent Web site
(http://www.aiccusa.org) with extensive information about doing business in
Indonesia.
There are many more links to Indonesia at the FITA site. Go to the FITA
International Trade Web Resources <http://fita.org/webindex/index.html>
(http://fita.org/webindex), click on Regional Resources and Multi-Lateral
Trading Areas in the left column, then scroll down to Asia and click on
Indonesia in the drop-down box. Or simply type "Indonesia" in the search box at
http://www.fita.org <http://fita.org/>.
