International trade is a constantly evolving scene involving many players with varied and unpredictable behaviour. It involves the flow of goods/services from a seller in one country to a buyer in another country in accordance with the contract of sale and the subsequent flow of payment from buyer to seller. Before entering into an International Trade transaction, individuals and businesses must assess the risks involved as well as all possible mitigation methods.
