The following is a topical outline for a report on the market for any product being exported from one country to another.  If you can produce or buy this kind of information before you begin, you might decide to try another product or another market.  If you decide to go ahead, your chances of success will be increased considerably.  Moreover, a solid market study looks very good to potential investors and lenders.

QUOTAS? Is Essential For Your Success. Read This To Find Out Why

Quotas are a quantity control on imported goods.  Generally, they are specific provisions limiting the amount of foreign products imported in order to protect local firms and to conserve foreign currency.  Quotas can be used for export control as well. An export quota is sometimes required by national planning to preserve scarce resources.  From a policy standpoint, a quota is not as desirable as a tariff since a quota generates no revenues for a country.  Two kinds of voluntary quotas can be legally distinguished: VER (voluntary export restraint) and OMA (orderly marketing agreement).  Whereas an OMA involves a negotiation between two governments to specify export management rules, the monitoring of trade volumes, and consultation rights, a VER is a direct agreement between an importing nation's government and a foreign exporting industry (i.e., a quota with industry participation).  Both enable the importing country to circumvent the GAT...

Brass: Protecting the Viability of the Scrap Stream

Free-machining brasses  Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc. The presence of other elements in brass such as lead is often required to improve machinability. The superior machinability of brass is ideal for producing parts that are used in a variety of applications including valves, fittings and electrical components. The most commonly used, free-machining brass is UNS alloy C36000. In some applications such as potable water systems, federal and state regulations restrict the use of lead. This may require the specification of low or lead-free brasses. Some lead-free brasses rely on elements other than lead to improve machinability and other properties such as strength, hardness and corrosion resistance. The importance of scrap  The entire economy of the brass industry is dependent on the economic recycling of surplus material, or scrap. Brass for extrusion and hot forging is normally made from a basic melt of scrap of similar composition adjuste...
