It has been more than a decade since the publication of the first edition and three years after the fifth printing of the first edition in 2008. The second edition of this book represents a substantial revision to the first edition. Several chapters have either been updated or rewritten. The following is the summary and highlight of changes in the new edition:
Chapter 5 Documentary Credit has been updated to reflect the adoption of UCP–600.
Chapter 7 Export Credit Insurance has been rewritten to reflect the most up-to-date roles of and services offered by ECIC.
Chapter 8 Important Trade Promotion Institutions in Hong Kong has been rewritten to reflect the introduction of new services, apart from the existence of the traditional services.
Chapter 15 Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credit has been fully rewritten to reflect the current version of the rule governing the operation of documentary credit — UCP–600. True/false questions with answers and explanations have been added in this chapter with a wish to help reader understand more thoroughly the new rules.
At the time of writing, I am fully aware that Incoterms 2010 will come into force early next year. Therefore, I have added a few pages in Chapter 3, drawing readers’ attention the major differences between Incoterms 2000 and Incoterms 2010. As international trade finance is an ever-changing subject, readers are advised to keep abreast of the latest developments by reading trade articles, journals and ICC (International Chamber of Commerce) newly published materials. For the remaining chapters, they have been checked and amended to ensure accuracy.
I firmly believe that the second edition can in particular give readers an insight of UCP–600 and understanding of the most up-to-date services offered by the trade promotion institutions in Hong Kong.
Lastly, I would like take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to the Editorial Manager of City University of Hong Kong Press, Mr. Edmund Chan, for his great effort in editing the 2nd edition. Any omissions and mistakes, if any, are of course mine.
