ABSTRACT
Although the principles of contract are much the same overseas, there are many complications, which although they might not be a direct responsibility of the project manager, may well be connected with his project. He might be in charge of a site situated overseas, or equally his project at home might involve a purchase of goods from overseas which have to be imported into his country. He must therefore be aware of what the procedures are and be familiar with the terms used in every-day dealings with exporting and importing. Thus far will we go in the following chapter. Questions of trading abroad and shipments overseas would comfortably fill a whole volume on their own and indeed have already done so and anyone concerned with such matters is referred to these comprehensive works on the subject. Our treatment will merely touch the practical surface, and introduce the terms which are peculiar to it.
