Export Process and Requirements

Start with export preparation

The mind map Export Preparing is a starting point for this topic. It introduces contracts as documents that establish rights and obligations for both sides. Its branches include payment, container and packing, delivery of goods, patents and trademarks, and taxes. You can use these headings to organize your study before moving on to the steps in an export process.

For another view of agreements, a mind map on export procedures describes an export contract and includes forward cover. Compare its terms with the contract material in Export Preparing as you work through the page.

Follow the process

The Export Process flowchart sets out steps that include registering as an exporter with DIAN, registering in RUT, negotiating with a buyer under INCOTERM rules, and preparing commercial and export documents. A separate mind map with the same title starts with market research and demand, then covers registration and costing.

Export Registration Formalities focuses on registering an organization. For services, Guide for exporting services from Colombia begins with identifying the mode of service supply. These resources offer different starting points for studying requirements; their steps and context are not all the same.

Use the quiz with the maps

After reviewing a map, use The Steps of an Export Business Deal to practice the topic. Return to the maps to review the terms and steps you want to study again. The flashcards on export steps provide another way to go over points such as choosing where to sell, planning, finding opportunities and knowing the requirements.
