That depends on the perspective you have

What does this mean in practice?

You are a Swiss SME?

Small and Medium size Enterprise

You want to grow your business internationally?

Whether your business is attracting interest abroad or you want to participate in an large scale infrastructure project, it's a good idea to consider the steps you'd like to take for this international transaction. 

 

Make sure to consider the many aspects which are involved in an export to ensure it works smoothly and involves as little risk as possible.

Formalities first :
an international contract

There are diverging cross-border regulations, tariff agreements, and other factors that should be considered while negotiating contracts.

You should, for instance, pay close attention to the INCOTERMS 2020 terms you are willing to accept.

Production and
shipment or delivery

After a successful agreement, you start the production and shipment of your goods or the delivery of your service.

 

Depending on the payment terms you agree to, you may do this at your own cost or with a partial pre-payment.
