Summary:

The trading of goods between communities is as old as humanity itself. Trade has shaped civilizations, and along the most important trading routes - such as the Silk Road, the Mediterranean Sea or the transatlantic trade routes - empires were formed. The 20th century has seen the complete globalization of trade and, along with it, an institutional framework that aims to create for it a fair and balanced legal environment. This book aims to provide readers with a comparative analysis of the customs rules of economies that play an important role in global trade. Whereas most publications discuss the legislation of a given country in detail, the approach of this publication is unique. The information it contains provides a useful overview of customs practices in selected countries, serving as a valuable reference tool for customs professionals and finance managers, as well as other professionals interested in the customs implications of trade. The book starts with a general overview of customs-related topics regulated on an international level. This is followed by a practical analysis of the most important customs rules in Brazil, the European Union, India, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea and the United States. The country chapters adhere to a common outline, allowing easy comparison of topics between countries.
