很難說本書是一本用英語編寫的國際貿(mào)易實務教材還是一本以國際貿(mào)易實務為內(nèi)容的英語教材。編者其實希望本書能一石二鳥,同時適用于兩種目的,同時使用者也可以根據(jù)各自的需要在學習時有不同側(cè)重。本書以國際(貨物)貿(mào)易實務的環(huán)節(jié)為主線,系統(tǒng)介紹了國際(貨物)貿(mào)易各環(huán)節(jié)的一般操作規(guī)則和國際慣例。全書用英文編寫,力爭讓使用者在學習國際(貨物)貿(mào)易實務相關(guān)知識的過程中掌握相關(guān)的英語表達方法,在學習國際貿(mào)易實務英語的過程中掌握國際貿(mào)易實務相關(guān)知識。
