Oh, wow. Only are many things to consider with this. First, are the various laws that come into play. While we have plenty of freedoms in the Western world, which is not the case in all countries. Even trading partners such as Indonesia and China have their own laws that are very, very different from the U.S. etc. Currency exchange can be a complicated issue as well. A company that wants to sell or exchange at the international level must have a good bank (actually, the banks, plural) that can help buy, sell and barter in foreign currency. Things like the opening lines of documentary credit (a means of payments between companies) will be important. As currency changes will. International Taxes may also be a problem. Believe it or not, but some countries prohibit foreign companies to take large of its currency outside its home country. Accounting practices and procedures can vary widely. There GAAP (generally accepted accounting practices) we use U.S., then there are other international accounting practices. Customs paperwork and duties are another factor. Some countries will need to pay duty on certain items into and out of their nation. Finally, there is a darker side of doing business is some third world countries. Bribes are often made to conclude trade agreements. Or, even bribing government officials is sometimes the "norm."
