• An Export Trading Company (ETC) deals with exports for clients, focusing on all legal requirements and regulations that a company must follow before a country will allow its goods to be exported.

  • Also referred to as export management companies, ETCs can either be local or based in another country, such as the country that imports the goods the company is trying to properly export.
  • ETC can provide a firm with local knowledge of the laws and regulations in another country, reduce training and recruitment costs, and help develop a foreign exchange risk minimization strategy.
