Functions of a Foreign Trade Assistant

A Foreign Trade Assistant, usually works in the Back Office of an exporting or importing company, providing a series of administrative activities related to exports and imports and supporting the export department. Generally, he/she does not have contact with the final client.

Some activities carried out by an Assistant of Foreign Trade: management of foreign orders, control of exports and imports, processing of international trade documents, management of customs processes, making international offers, international transport management (follow-up , analysis, freight negotiation), customer service, incident resolution, activity reports, market research, cost control and export prices...

In other words, the Foreign Trade Assistant guarantees the foreign trade flows of an exporting or importing company, reporting directly to the director of the foreign trade department.

Unlike a Back Office for the national market, the Foreign Trade Assistant must have a solid knowledge of international trade: customs, Incoterms, management of foreign trade documents, international transport, documentary credits, market research, export price calculation...

In addition, the Foreign Trade Assistant must be fluent in languages. The usual thing is that the Foreign Trade Assistant is bilingual (English and Spanish), or even knows other languages such as French or Portuguese. Therefore, you can study the Course in Foreign Trade Assistant in any of these four languages, under three modalities:
