or ENTRY FOB AMERICAN GOODS
By FRANCIS H. SISSON, Vice-President Guaranty Trust Company of New York.
EVER In American commercial history has foreign trade offered such opportu-
d nlties as today. War crln-
ped Europe Is crying to us for food, raw materials and manufactured products. The rest of the globe, finding Its former European supply temporarily cut off. has also been turning to us to meet the deficiency. American banks are playing a leading part In enabling our manufacturers and merchants to take advantage of this opening. The passage nearly eix years ago of the Federal Reserve Act made It possible for the first time for the larger national banks to establish branches abroad. State legislation since then has similarly permitted some of our large state chartered Institutions to take the same step. These new avenues to fortune are stimulating the Imaginations alike of manufacturers and producers of raw material, big end little. But to many the foreign market Is In large measure a new field. The machinery of Its operation appears a complicated puzzle. In the first place. It is always more desirable to do business with somebody you know, or at least someone whom you know something about, tlan with a a utter stranger. Where not only large transactions, but credit that ts. postponed payments are Involved, this is nothing short of Imperative. When your customer or h who would sell you goods is a foreigner yon generally want also to know something about his country. Its commercial laws and customs, its enrrency. Us bunks, its chief trade centers, types of industry and Its ports In snort, everything possible that would help you to decide whether yon want to do business there, either for the moment or permanently. A well-eqwlpped bank, with Its organisation for securing, collecting, and making available Information of this character, can render Invaluable assistive t exporters who are In need of neb Mf-rlco.

Let ns take a shipment of paints and varnishes from a manufacturer in the United States to a dealer In Uruguay. In this transaction, for the sake of illustration, we will consider that the manufacturer looks after shipping arrangements. In practice, however, shippers generally prefer to entrust their shipments to established forwarding agencies who attend to all these shipping details. In this case all correspondence, orders and invoices between the manufacturer and buyer should be written or printed In Spanish. Firms seeking foreign trade should employ translators. Negotiation are osnally opeied by a letter of tnqulr7 from the prospective customer asking for advertising literature, including price lists and discounts for dealers. In replying, it should be remembered that from ten days to three or more raontJhs are required for mail to reach overseas destinations. It Is desirable, therefore, that tbe letter should be rou"h more complete than In the case of a domestic prospect. Special emphasis should b laid on courtesy In such correspondence. Business men In most foreign countries are not accustomed to the abrupt, matter-of-fact methods of expression generally employed between American business men. Wkerever practicable, samples should be forwarded. Tb manu
facturer should furnlb the prospective customer with bank references or other information regarding his Integrity. The next step for the manufacturer Is to obtain a credit report on the prospective cusfotner. Reports" on foreign firms are not generally as detailed as those furnished by commercial agencies on firms In the United States. However, It is safe to say that accurate Information Is obtainable on houses in practically every part of the world- In analysing a credit report political, economic or.d other conditions prevailing In the country of the customer should also be taken Into account. As a rule not much Importance can be attached to local references other than bank. We will now snppose that tbe Inquirer responds witb an order. A standard shipper's order form should bav been maiied to the prospect In the replj to the original Inquiry. ParOcularly Important is a column in this blank calling for the code word for each item, of th, order, another code

word being used for the whole order. A suitable space Is also provided for names and references. The goods are now ready for shipment. On each case should be stenciled, among other things, the name of the shipper, consignees shipping mark, and . the serial number of the esse. Only those marks which are absolutely necessary, and wording which would be understood in the country or destination should appear. The manufacturer now reserves cargo space and receives a shipping perrait from the steamship company allowing bran to put the stipulated number or cases on the steamship's pier on a certain data. The gooes - ars ent to tka pier and the driver Is given the shipping, permit and also

Clearance Is not granted until the shipper's export declaration has been properly filled out and sworn to before a customs officer notary, or other officers. This certificate includes a complete detailed statement of the sfclpment. lta origin, description of packages and Itemized prices. It Is prepared la duplicate, and after being sworn to the original is retained by the collector of customs, The duplicate la tbeo taken ' to 'the steamship company with bills of lading ready foe signature and is later delivered to the collector of customs by the steamship company. v - Several foreign countries . require
consular Invoices which must be presented to the consul of the country to which the shlpmont Is destined. The consular invoice is signed by the consul and a fee charged. Uruguay does not require a consular Invoice. Instead a certificate of origin must be submitted to the consul in duplicate for certification. Od ropy Is retained by the consul and the other Is submitted to the steamship company with the bill of lading hut Is returned to the shipper. It Is necessary for the shipper to prepare from three to eight, or even more, copies of the bill of lading, the exact number depending on the cumber of copies required by the steamship company, by the consul, arid by the-shipper respectively. Possession Of any ene "negofable" or signed copy ibonveys ownership of the goods. Insurance should be obtained in the meantime through 'he shipper's Insurance brokers. It ts customary to Insure a shipment for the total axuount of tha Invoice, plus ten to twenty per cent, !n or4er to protect the party Insured against loss ef forwarding and
Voaflry charges.
T? Ip.voice may man is a staremeat of weights and measurements, although many manufacturers prefer
BH B3 . mill- j
a separate statement of these Items. The type of export Invoice is determined largely by the character of the business and the ideas of the export manager. Some prefer the ordinary domestic form, while others use a modified Invoice for exports. Advances for ocean freight, Insurarce and any -other charges are added to the invoice -if the amount of these charges Is. known et the time the invoice la made out. All discounts should be deducted from the face of the invoice. Foreign invoices are generally signed, as in some countries Invoices have no legal force otherwise. Three copies of the invoice are made; an original for the bank, one copy to the customer and one copy for the shipper's flies. In pnylni; for the consignment of goods a foreign draft is generally employed. Let us assume first that the foreign buyer has authorized the American seller to drnw, on him or on his bank, a draft, payable at sight, or at CO, 00, or 120 days after sight. The seller ship1? his goods, receives from the carrier the bill of lading, and attaches this, the invoice or invoices, and his insurance policy, to the 'Irfift, which he then takes to his hank. If his credit standing and that of his foreign customer Is good, and the other circumstances of tha case trarrnnt it, he may receive an immediate creilit on the draft, otherwise credit will be given on advice that the draft has been paid. The bill or draft, with its attached documents, is promptly sent by the back to a
iranch or correspondent in ine cuj,
or at least In the country, which is the home of the ban'c on which the bill Is ilrnvrn. The bill is then presented to the bank and, if a time bill. !s accepted by It that is, the bank accepts ihe obligation to pay it when it comes due. Documents are there- - i upon detached and turned over to the accepting bank, 1n order that it may thereby come into possession of tha ! goods on their arrival. If the bill is a sight bill. It is paid by the drawee bank immediately on presentation; If a time bill. It is payable perhaps GO, no. or 120 days after sight, that is, after presentation and acceptance. If, of course, the draft be drawn oh the importer himself, not on his bank, it Is he who will have to accept it. In accepting he is likely to wTlte on It, "Payable at such-and-such bank." A foreign Importer may arrange to pav an American extorter In a different way. Throu v bis bank, a branch or correspondent, say, of a New York bank, be may arrange for an export credit In New York. In this case he will direct his bank to charge his account a given amount and cable the New York bank to open a credit to that account in favor of the exporter to cover expected shipments of goods. The exporter, on the occasion of such shipments will then tak proper documents to the New York bauli and draw In the correct amounts on the credit that had been opened In his favor. Finally, the foreign Importer may purchase from his bank a draft on its American correspondent or home bank in favor of the American exporter. This la essentially a cheque In payment
