Consider: ad valorem, GATT, most favored nation, NAFTA, antidumping, GSP, counter-trade, FOB, ocean bill of lading, letter of credit, FTZ, Harmonized Tariff Schedule, IMF, havala, and chaebol. International trade is a business where "I think I know" isn't good enough. What you don't know can really hurt you.
