1. Compliance with Customs Legislation: Each country has its own customs regulations and procedures. Importers and exporters must fully comply with the customs laws of the countries they operate in. This includes the correct and complete preparation of required documents and the timely payment of customs duties and other obligations.

2Contract Management: In international trade, it is important to prepare a detailed and clear contract between the parties in order to prevent possible disputes. The contract should clearly state issues such as product features, pricing, delivery and payment terms, responsibilities and the law to be applied in case of dispute.

3. Delivery and Payment Methods: Delivery terms (Incoterms) and payment methods used in international trade determine the responsibilities and risks of the parties. For example, delivery terms such as FOB (Free On Board) or CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) regulate risk and cost sharing. In addition, methods such as letter of credit payment ensure the financial security of the parties.

4. Certificates of Origin and Standards: Documents showing the origin of imported or exported products and their compliance with standards are required in customs procedures and other stages of trade. The certificate of origin indicates the country where the product was produced, while quality and standard documents show the compliance of the product with the relevant standards.

5. Intellectual Property Rights: In import and export, care must be taken to ensure that products do not violate intellectual property rights such as patents, trademarks and copyrights. Otherwise, legal sanctions and compensation obligations may be encountered.

6. Taxation and Accounting Practices: In international trade, complying with the tax legislation of different countries and keeping accurate accounting records are important for preventing financial penalties and financial transparency.

7. Environmental and Health Regulations: In particular, when importing and exporting certain products, compliance with national and international regulations on the environment and health is required. This is critical both in terms of fulfilling legal obligations and corporate social responsibility.
