There are lots of good sources<\/strong> to learn, University and professional\/continuous training organizations, private companies or with the help of consultants, organizations and public bodies of all kinds (e.g., www.icex.es<\/a>, www.plancameral.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Information flows at a faster pace during the last 25 years, it was impressive and it enjoys exponential growth; here, we will mention useful links and apps to go ahead with the day to day of the export process<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"basic<\/p>\n

There are a few little helps that we can enjoy mobile <\/strong>(most of these apps have their web version too); they are Google translate<\/a> (translator), Xe currency<\/a> (currency), CityMapper<\/a> (transport options in cities, including US major cities), CultureCompass<\/a> (etiquette, culture and society), FlightAware<\/a> (when is goona land your flight? Is your client going to be late?) and, very useful for professional networking (Linkedin <\/a>and Xing<\/a>, “relationships” in German-speaking countries).
Most of the information is not in apps -not yet-, but on the web<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I\u00b4d mention UFI <\/a>(international fairs), global electric guide<\/a> and additional infos<\/a> (can you think about your loved devices not working in your destination, what a mess!), www.convert-me.com<\/a> (unit converter), EU translation<\/a> (various resources and services, including a “style guide<\/a>” for unambiguous writing), surveys<\/a>, analysis <\/a>and public opinion<\/a>, Esomar <\/a>(market research companies and data solutions<\/a>), www.dnb.com<\/a> (credit risk! and more), trademarks and patents in the EU <\/a>and the USA<\/a>, world customs organization (yes, from there you can access the \u201cHS\u201d<\/a> -Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, a worldwide version of ” TARIC<\/a>“\u2013 the European system), industry standards for global <\/a>and regional <\/a>markets, information on electronic markets<\/a> and trade leads<\/a>, access to EU markets<\/a>, country risk<\/a>, statistical data by country<\/a> (and other comparative figures of commercial interest<\/a>), time\/dates<\/a> of interest and holidays <\/a>(perhaps your activity is delayed because a partner is enjoying the “golden week”). <\/p>\n

\"basic-tools-international-trade\"Finally, and in order to have a general overview of countries<\/strong>, instead of dense sources such as the OECD, the World Bank or the IMF, I think it is more useful to check the CIA Factbook<\/a>, compact, reliable and able to save our precious time. Same thing for www.fita.org<\/a>, which happens to offer -some of the other sites we mentioned before also have that option-, a non-invasive newsletter, to keep us informed of their interesting updates; useful, only in German this time, is also the information of the IHK Hannover<\/a> (ISO currency and country, vehicle plates, FTAs and preferential agreements, a smaller version -in English-, here<\/a>).
