	UNITED NATIONS   

			ISSUE: i 23 - INTERNATIONAL TRADE PROCESSES	
		
Duane - here are some suggestions for:

i	23	Insert New Slide 	International Trade Process

The proposal is that Business processes that involve International Trade 
should be UN/CEFACT Managed and be part of UN eDocs.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE PROCESSES

An example is:

A	International Trade Documentation Workflows
	ref  PORTMIS - Manifest UN-eDoc A


a	DIFFERENT TRADING ENTITIES IN PROCESS

There are 11 Different trading entities involved with documentation flows
for exporters

1 	Chamber of Commerce

2 	Shipper 		Any Nationality

3 	Haulier

4 	Forwarding Agent

5 	Insurance Company 	Any Nationality

6 	Customs

7 	Port Authority

8 	Ship 			Any Nationality

9 	Shipping Company

10 	Stevedore

11 	Wharfinger

The need for one E-commerce Standard is paramount with the different
number of trading entities from different countries involved in the 
Export Information procees

b	DIFFERENT DOCUMENTS INVOLVED IN WORKFLOW PROCESS

There were 16 documents involved with the export process that
are sent to the different organisations in the export cycle:

1	Certificate of Origin

2	Forwarding Agent Instructions

3	Bill of Lading

4	Booking Enquiry

5	Sailing Schedule

6	Provisional Booking

7	Wharfinger's Receipt

NEXT STEPS
