International Business Production and Logistics
This week we analyzed and evaluated an array of topics in the area of production and logistics for the international firm. We identified and discussed countertrade, export financing, and reviewed some of the documents used to facilitate those processes.
An external link allowed you to review some of the most common documents used in export financing. Now, think about this question and post your response.
Which document used in export financing serves the following three (3) purposes:
1, Receipt for services by the firm providing carriage (e.g. steamship line, airline)
2, Establishes a document of title (document of title in this instance is defined as the temporary ownership of the goods needed to allow entry into the country that the goods will be sold in)
3, Establishes contractual services by the firm and seller of the goods for carriage
How would you use this document?
Your assignment will be graded based on the following rubric:

Overall unity of ideas is present. | Answers show high degree of attention to logic and reasoning of points.
