For example, in France, business meetings begin promptly at the designated time and everyone is expected to be there. Foreign business people who are tardy are often left outside to cool their heels as a means of letting them know the importance of promptness. Unless one is aware of such expected behaviors he may end up insulting the people with whom he hopes to establish trade relations.
A second traditional problem is that of monetary conversions. For example, if a transaction is conducted with Russia, payment may be made in rubles. Of course, this currency is of little value to the American firm. It is, therefore, necessary to convert the foreign currency to American dollars. How much are these Russian rubles worth in terms of dollars？ This conversion rate is determined by every market, where the currencies of countries are bought and sold. Thus there is an established rate, although it will often fluctuate from day to day. For example, the ruble may be worth '0.75 on Monday and '0.72 on Tuesday because of an announced wheat shortage in Russia. In addition, there is the dilemma associated with converting at '0.72. Some financial institutions may be unwilling to pay this price, feeling that the ruble will sink much lower over the next week. As a result, conversion may finally come at '0.69. These "losses" must be accepted by the company as one of the costs of doing business overseas.
A third unique problem is trade barriers. For one reason or another, all countries impose trade barriers on certain goods crossing their borders. Some trade barriers are directly related to exports. For example, the United States permits strategic military material to be shipped abroad only after government permission has been obtained. Most trade barriers, however, are designed to restrict import. Two of the most common import barriers are quotas and tariffs.
The best title for the passage would be ______.
A．How to Succeed in International Trade
B．Monetary Conversion
C．Trade Barriers
D．Unique Problems in International Trade

Like most wars,a trade war may bring about desired economic or political changes, but in the long run almost everyone suffers ,including those whom the trade war was meant to help.
An efficient carmaker, for example, may ask for limits of foreign imports, hoping to keep its price high without improving the quality of its products. In the end , however , other countries may retaliate with trade restrictions of their own. Consumers and businesses in both countries are then forced to buy poorly made and expensive domestic products. Trade restrictions might protect a few jobs in inefficient industries,but the whole economy often suffers by becoming less competitive in the international markets.
The most common tools for limiting imports of foreign goods and services are quotas, tariffs,and subsidies. When a country imposes a quota, it limits the quantity of certain foreign products that can be imported. A tariff is a tax placed on goods entering a country , raising the price of imported goods. A government can also use the taxpayers' money to provide a subsidy to local producers , making the price of local goods artificially lower than imported goods.
Trade barriers, like walls between feuding neighbors, are usually imposed unilaterally by one country acting on its own to limit the amount of foreign products available to local producer from foreign competition and allow them time to improve their products or lower their prices as long as they are protected from foreign competition by trade barriers.
Although trade restrictions are of dubious economic value, they have been shown to be effective in bringing about political or social change. The refusal of countries to trade and do business with South Africa, for example, was widely seen to be responsible for the decision to dismantle the system of apartheid. Trade blockades can be useful in forcing countries to change policies that violate human rights or international treaties, but as long as a sufficient number of countries join in the blockade to make it effective.

The Basics of Import and Export
Importing and exporting is transferring goods from one country to another while paying attention to the laws and requirements of bringing goods out or into that country. If you want to import in large quantities for commercial purposes, you’ll need to have the consent of the local customs department and the right paperwork. Import and export are the basics of international trade. If you are looking forward to starting your own business in the field of importing and exporting business then here are some tips for starters.
Foreign embassies provide nice programs and a great deal of information about their goods to promote exporting. You can find out exactly what it is you are looking to buy. If you are exporting, you can approach your local department of trade and see what plans they have on offer to promote exports. Besides, you should consult the tax department to find out if there is a particular process to setting up an importing and exporting company and what documentation you will require. It is also necessary that you find out about any licensing requirements for importing and exporting of goods. Some countries do not allow their goods to go to a certain country and vice versa, this is known as an embargo. In this way, you can make sure that there are no embargoes with the country you are looking to trade with.
1. International trade refers to both import and export.
2. Only after the local customs department agrees, could you start your own business in the field of import and export.
3. Foreign embassies do nothing to help promote exporting.
4. If you are exporting, you can turn to no one for help.
5. Some countries do not allow their goods to go to a certain country.

In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors ale offering on the market, what prices they are quoting, what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information？ There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor's offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.
Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations.
In making market investigation, one should ______.
A．get enough information concerned
B．advertise his products
C．produce high quality goods
D．none of the above
