At that time and for years after, exporting was dominated by very large companies. That may be why over the next 73 years there were only nine editions-the audience was limited. Not anymore. More than 40,000 copies of the 10th Edition and 10th Revised Edition have been printed since 2011. But since then, much has changed on the world economic scene, including a record 300,000 U.S. exporting companies in 2013. This completely updated and rewritten 11th Edition is dedicated to and a practical reference for the thousands of additional companies, mostly small and medium-size, that, in the coming years, will export for the first time or expand into additional export markets. A new generation of export enablers is responsible for the book you are holding, or are viewing on your mobile device-a technology that wasn't even science fiction in 1936! Among the many contributors to this book are Anand Basu and Antwaun Griffin of the senior leadership team of the U.S. Commercial Service, who early on supported the need for a new edition. Budget analyst Carolyn McNeill made sure commitments were kept. Making important editorial contributions were Curt Cultice and Roza Pace, a whiz at explaining free trade agreements. Student interns Brian Gerrard and Sara Abu-Odeh kept track of hundreds of text changes and crunched innumerable bits of data for the charts. Credit for the look and feel of the book goes to our designer Jason Scheiner. It was no small feat to integrate all the photos, charts, samples, stories, text pullouts, and changes. He also made sure that the print shop was faithful to the design. This book contains many new facts, figures, and analyses. Dozens of experts from different government trade promotion agencies reviewed sections of the book and suggested changes. Special thanks to Jamie Rose of the U.S. Department of the Treasury for coordinating input on the export controls section and to Yuki Fujiyama from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Office of Financial and Insurance Industries for expanding the Trade Finance section. Our colleague April Miller served as business manager for the project, and her knowledge of how our system works ensured that the book appeared while topics and trends are fresh.

Importing is not just for those lone footloose adventurer types who survive by their wits and the skin of their teeth. It's big business these days.
