📖 Comprehensive Note

International trade can face several challenges that affect costs and delivery. High transportation and shipping costs, strict foreign regulations, and documentation are common obstacles. Risks of damage, loss, or delay during transit are always present.

Fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and trade barriers like tariffs or quotas further complicate trade. Political instability in foreign countries can disrupt supply chains and market operations.
